Hardpin

The fight for reproductive freedom is driven in part by the power of storytelling. At Abortion In America’s Austin, Texas convening, we saw firsthand how sharing personal stories strengthens community, and shapes the path forward. ??: Hardpin

This International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the power of women—both in front of and behind the camera. At Hardpin, we’re proud when we tell stories with female led crews—directors, producers, cinematographers, sound ops, gaffers, photographers and more—who shape the narratives that matter. From amplifying women leaders worldwide Vital Voices Global Partnership to working with ACLU, Abortion In America, U.S. candidates & lawmakers, and more, we remain committed to storytelling that drives change—with women leading the way.

As the current U.S. administration signals a dangerous retreat from climate progress, the need for bold, immediate action has never been more urgent. We refuse to let inaction dictate our future. We stand with our partners who continue to fight for real change—through advocacy, action, and relentless pressure on those in power. A green economy isn’t just possible—it’s necessary. It will create jobs, lower energy costs, and secure a livable future. But we must accelerate the transition now, not let it slow down. That means massive investment, effective education, and storytelling that doesn’t just inform but compels action at every level. The clock is ticking—let’s act before it’s too late. ??

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Cecile Richards, a tireless advocate for reproductive freedom. Her unwavering dedication to justice, equity, and access to care transformed lives and inspired a movement. Over the past year, we've had the absolute honor of working with Cecile and her incredible team on Abortion In America to help spread empathy and access to reproductive care, something we care about deeply. She is, and always will be, an inspiration to everyone on our team to apply ourselves and work incredibly hard to make our country better. And to never give up. Rest in power Cecile.

Powerful stories skillfully told can change the world...that's what we believe at Hardpin.
