PARTNERS
Supported by the Amplify StafF
Allison Coffman
(she/her)
Executive Director
Allison is an Oklahoma native who has spent the last ten years working in the South. Her commitment to reproductive justice was shaped by her upbringing in a matriarchal, Latina household and the desire to join a movement that represents the intersectionality of our lives.
Currently, she serves as the Executive Director of the Amplify Georgia Collaborative working to protect and expand access to abortion care in Georgia through state and local campaigns. She also chairs the City of Atlanta’s Reproductive Justice Commission. Previously, she worked internationally to promote sexual reproductive health and rights, served on the boards of Access Reproductive Care Southeast and the Carolina Abortion Fund, and volunteered as a domestic violence advocate.
ROULA ABISAMRA
(she/they)
State Campaign Director
I call several places home: Georgia where I live and work, Louisiana where I grew up, and the country of Lebanon where my oldest roots are. Supporting people seeking abortion care changed my life and brought me to reproductive justice organizing. Today I support Amplify partners to build campaigns for community power and policy change in Georgia, and proudly maintain a small consulting service for movement organizations and other teams around the country. I try to facilitate groups to do whole-hearted work by weaving their strengths, values, and vision into new strategies and processes.
Crystal Monds
(she/they)
Communications & Digital Media Coordinator
Crystal Monds is a BlaQueer Southern-born healing practitioner and visual artist whose cultural ties to Creole and Deep South identities inform her work to better serve, center, and nurture gender-marginalized folks in her community. This background is where Crystal’s commitment to reproductive justice is rooted, alongside her racial justice movement work, healing justice lens, being a community mama, and desiring a life of autonomy, deep joy, and integrity for historically devalued folks.
Crystal is currently serving as the Communications and Digital Media Coordinator with Amplify, integrating her love for meaningful conversation, impactful aesthetics, and revolutionary change.

Our Purpose
our mission
We bring together reproductive health, rights, and justice (RHRJ) organizations, community leaders, and allies to expand abortion access and advance reproductive justice in Georgia through policy change, culture shift, and education.
our vision
We dream of a Georgia where ALL people can make decisions around their bodies, for their families, and their communities, free from stigma, shame, or state and interpersonal violence. We believe that Georgia can lead and catalyze change throughout the South by expanding access to safe, affordable, and dignified reproductive care, including abortion care. By building power across race, gender, sexuality, class, age, ability, and immigration status, we envision a Georgia where everyone not just survives but thrives.
