Lisa Sangoi, Movement For Family Power:
We are so grateful for the work, attention, patience and love CAIP gave us in helping design the Reimagine Support campaign to challenge the womb to foster system pipeline in New York State. Our campaign is led by women of color and directly impacted folks. We are people who are often left out of leadership, campaign design and implementation, and legislative work. CAIP helped demystify the work for us that felt otherwise opaque and charted a path forward that helped both accentuate our strengths as a diverse coalition while putting structures into place to make us stronger.
Kimberly Inez McGuire, URGE:
Working with CAIP was a wonderful experience. Their subject matter expertise, thoughtful methodology, and strong customer service helped us create a policy agenda for young people that we continue to use today. This policy agenda has informed much of our programmatic work, and reflects the needs and perspectives of our membership. Vero and Eesha are friendly, organized, and bring real value to the process.
Jenny Dodson Mistry, NIRH:
NIRH worked with CAIP to evaluate, improve, and expand one of our flagship projects, the Local Reproductive Freedom Index. CAIP was an invaluable partner of this project, bringing to the table their deep understanding of the reproductive justice framework, specific issue area expertise, and their backgrounds in community organizing and coalition management. This helped us create an evaluation process that centered the voices of the partners we most wanted to reach – local advocates and organizations that could use our tool to create systemic change in their communities. CAIP helped us to incorporate the findings of that evaluation to refine the partner engagement process we put in place for the research phase of the Local Reproductive Freedom Index. This both improved the report and helped NIRH build stronger relationships with these organizations while doing so. CAIP also helped us edit and improve the indicators we looked at to come into greater alignment with the reproductive justice framework and the story we wanted to tell, including by developing new indicators on protections for sex workers and to reflect racial disparities in health outcomes. CAIP was also just plain fun to work with and we always looked forward to our meetings together. Their history in the reproductive justice movement and the work they have achieved means they bring both relationships and a perspective that is rare among consultants. We highly recommend partnering with CAIP.
