Haley Reash-Henz (she/they) is a passionate young professional establishing a career within the field of reproductive healthcare and advocacy. She is invested in the accessibility and equity of healthcare, health and wellness education, LGBTQ+ issues, community mobilization and engagement, and the integration of intersectional approaches to solutions. Haley graduated from Clark University in 2022 with a Bachelor's degree in Women's and Gender Studies and International Development and Social Change.  Much of their research and academic experience helped them explore class, race, and gendered disparities impacting individuals and communities, manifesting itself in the continued study of state power exercised on marginalized people's bodies.

​

Haley has also spent two years as a Clark University Wellness Ambassador and acted as a wellness and consent advocate on their university campus and centered their actions on 'radical care' for the community they served and its most marginalized communities and individuals. Haley intends to further her education in a field related to community health and organizing with a central lens of intersectional feminism and the deconstruction of harmful power relations.

Haley is deeply passionate about the accessibility of abortion care services as she believes that the recent changes in legislation regarding abortion access are not just about abortion. These rulings are about race, ethnicity, gender, class, education, privilege, etc. They're about how the state controls bodies to further their own agendas. The rulings show who has had power formally and historically in the world, but the reactions to these rulings show how and where collective organizing can translate to power being disbursed to the masses. Haley has long used art as a tool to express their emotions, goals, ideas, and values, and the collaboration on this project with her own mother was an obvious step to take. By taking part in this art show, Haley is her stance on the struggle for collective and individual power and is encouraging folks to think about how their actions, values, and beliefs may be enforcing state harm instead of individual empowerment.
