NOVA Summit
May 19–21, 2026 | Chicago, IL
We invite you to the first-ever national convening of the Black reproductive health, rights, and justice ecosystem. A place for shared purpose. Deepened community and belonging. Collaboration that strengthens organizations and fortifies leaders.
NOVA is the first-ever national summit designed to align, fortify, and position the Black repro ecosystem for collective strategy, leadership, and long-term action.
More than a summit, NOVA is a center of gravity for our movement. It brings together organizations, organizers, birth workers, policy leaders, communicators, healers, and cultural workers under one shared commitment: building the collective power needed to protect our communities and shape the future of reproductive justice.
Hosted in Chicago, the birthplace of the Reproductive Justice framework, the NOVA Summit creates space for alignment, innovation, and action at a moment when our movement needs both coherence and courage.
Nova Steering Committee
NOVA is co-designed and stewarded in partnership with a steering committee of organizations deeply rooted in Black repro ecosystem leadership and community-based impact.
