  • creates and improves evidence-based communications tools that build public support for abortion and reproductive health access;
  • curates COMSProject.org - a library of message guidance, opinion research and polling, and other resources for use by the movement and allies;
  • provides pro-bono message trainings for staff, boards, lawmakers, and allied organizations;
  • offers strategic advice and assistance to support any of your communications, messaging, opinion and polling needs.

With sessions focusing on communications and a range of hot topics in the repro movement, it is a “must attend” event for PR, marketing, and communications staff.

But the Message Summit isn’t only for communications staff. Policy staff, board members, pollsters, spokespeople – your whole team! – will find sessions of value.

The COMS Project Message Summit isn’t only for communications staff. We are all communicators for our issue and movement –spokespeople, policy staff, board members, pollsters – your whole team! – will find sessions of value.
The COMS Project Message Summit provides a range of sessions – from daily plenaries where leading voices from RHRJ and allied organizations share their perspectives and visions, to lively discussions on the newest tactics and tools to reach target audiences.

You can also look forward to community gatherings to connect on other topics and get to know each other better!

Our sessions are informed by what the community tells us they want to learn as well as what we know has worked well in the past. We promise there will be something to pique your interest at every hour. (And if you have to choose between two or three sessions that are happening at the same time, don’t worry – many sessions are taped for you to watch later!)
