Welcome
The Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC) is the only nation-wide political pro-choice group devoted to ensuring abortion rights and access. We are a registered non-profit, and not a registered charity.
ARCC is Canada’s “voice for choice”, formed in October 2005 to carry out political and educational work to support reproductive rights and health. Our diverse coalition consists of pro-choice groups and individuals across Canada working to represent all people who support reproductive rights and justice.
Check out our Vision and Mandate for more information about what we stand for and what we do.
ARCC acknowledges the historical and ongoing oppression of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, and respects and upholds the Inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples.
At ARCC, we are explicitly committed to an intersectional, anti-colonial approach to abortion rights, reproductive justice and sexual health. As part of this commitment, we respect Indigenous rights, land stewardship, and self-determination, which is especially important in light of the historical and ongoing reproductive injustices committed against Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
