Danielle Rodriguez

(she/they)

Executive Director

Danielle “dani” Rodriguez is a movement strategist, cultural worker, and truth-teller, dani leads with a love ethic, one shaped by organizing alongside communities who refuse to be silenced, and who know that liberation begins with the body.

dani has organized at the intersections of abortion access, maternal health, and immigrant justice. At SisterSong, she coordinated statewide campaigns, mobilized grassroots responses to harmful legislation, and stood at the front lines of Georgia’s fight against reproductive oppression. Her leadership has helped close detention centers, shape policy rooted in human dignity, and create healing spaces for Black, brown, queer, and working-class communities.

Her work is a practice of remembrance and resistance—rooted in the wisdom of those who came before and the urgency of those still waiting to be free. She believes in strategy that listens, policy that heals, and organizing that honors both grief and joy. dani carries the stories of her people, knowing that justice lives in the details of our lives, in the breath between survival and sovereignty.

As the new Executive Director at Amplify, dani is committed to building a Georgia where Reproductive Justice is not just a policy goal, but a living act of love where our bodies are not sites of control but of power, where care is not rationed but abundant, and where the everyday choices of Black and brown people are honored as sacred and sovereign.

ROULA ABISAMRA

(she/they)

Director of Strategic Growth

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.

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.

Our Values

Collaboration

We value collaboration. We are more than the sum of our parts. We can achieve meaningful and lasting change by joining together across identities, organizations, issue areas, and geographies.

Sustainability

We are committed to sustainability. To create lasting change, we must build community members and local organizations’ capacity to lead collective action beyond a single campaign.

Leadership of Those Most Impacted

For our movements to be successful, leadership must come from those most impacted by the problem. In both our programming and internal campaign structures, we continuously ask ourselves, “Who is missing from the table?” and “How can we shift power and leadership to the most marginalized?

Anti-Racist & Pro-Abortion

We are unapologetically anti-racist and pro-abortion. We speak truth to power, illuminating how efforts to control our bodies are rooted in White Supremacy and the Patriarchy.

Radical Love

We believe we must ground our movement work in radical love. Love for ourselves, for each other, and our communities. Love gives us hope and strength. With love, we can model the world we seek to create.
