For the 501(c)(4) affiliate, see All Above All Action Fund (Nonprofit)
All Above All, stylized as All* Above All, is an advocacy organization and a former project of the New Venture Fund, having become an independent nonprofit group as of 2024. 1 All Above All is also the 501(c)(3) sister organization to the All Above All Action Fund, a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund. 2
All Above All has advocated at the state and federal level to overturn the Hyde Amendment, a legislative provision passed by Congress in 1976 that forbids the use of federal funds to pay for abortions except in extreme circumstances. The group promoted the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH Woman) Act of 2017, an unsuccessful bill that would have directly connected federal dollars with abortions through all public health insurance plans. 3
In September 2023, the executive team released a statement declaring the organization would begin “restructuring” while further stating, “We remain steadfast that true abortion justice must incorporate racial justice.” 4
Funding
All Above All is a former project of the New Venture Fund (NVF), becoming an independent nonprofit organization in April 2024. As of 2025, no 990 tax forms are present to view for the group on ProPublica. 1
While it was a project of NVF, it was not required to file a separate tax return. All Above All receives contributions from individual donors, but could also be receiving any portion of the $273,608,141 spent by NVF in 2023 to “protect human rights, social freedom, and equality.” 5 6
The David and Lucile Packard Foundation claimed to have made a $400,000 donation to the New Venture Fund in 2016 directed to All Above All.7
In May 2023, the New Venture Fund received a $800,000 from the Ford Foundation intended for All Above All. 8
Advocacy
Supreme Court Nominees
Representatives for All Above All are frequently quoted by the media as pro-abortion advocates. All Above All has lobbied against the nomination of President Donald Trump’s appointees to the Supreme Court. Co-director Destiney Lopez released a statement saying that the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh “would be disastrous for poor women and people of color,” and would lead to the criminalization of abortion.9 The organization similarly criticized Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to the court.10
Publicly Funded Abortions
When Senate Republicans put forward healthcare proposals in 2017, Lopez condemned the proposals for refusing to publicly fund abortions.11
In California, All Above All is pushing the passage of SB 320, which would require student health centers on college campuses to be equipped with abortion medication. 12 13 In West Virginia, All Above All tried to stop the passage of SJR 12, which amended the state constitution to say that “Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of abortion. 14 15 16
EACH Woman Act
H.R. 771 was introduced to the House on January 31, 2017, by then-U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA). The bill had 134 co-sponsors, all of them Democrats. 17 If passed into law, the act would “ensure coverage for abortion care in public health insurance programs including Medicaid, Medicare, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program,” and would prevent state and federal governments from interfering in the way private health insurance companies choose to cover abortion – in effect, reversing the rules of the Hyde Amendment. 18
The EACH Woman Act has been reintroduced in every subsequent Congress as of 2025. 19
Women’s March 2022
Representatives from All Above all attended and spoke at the Women’s March 2022 in Washington, D.C. on October 8, 2022. 20
Abortion Justice Act of 2023
In June 2023, All Above All announced its support for H.R.4303 or the “Abortion Justice Act of 2023” introduced by U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) which would expand federal funding for abortion and expand abortion access. 21
September 2024 Lobby Day
In September 2024, All Above All organized a group of roughly 100 pro-choice and abortion rights activists to lobby members of Congress on Capitol Hill to pass the Abortion Justice Act and the EACH Act. The organization noted that it had brought together a majority of men of color to advocate during the event. 22
2025 Abortion Justice Playbook
In January 2025, All Above All released the Abortion Justice Playbook, which detailed its annual agenda. Among the agenda items included, “Repealing the Hyde Amendment through the EACH Act to ensure federal insurance covers abortion care,” “Protect medication abortion by advancing shield laws and over-the-counter access to mifepristone and misoprostol,” “Build a diverse and culturally competent abortion workforce through specialized training programs,” “Enshrining abortion rights in state constitutions and repeal restrictive laws,” [and] “ Improving clinic accessibility by eliminating zoning restrictions and funding rural care initiatives.” 23
Opposition to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
In February 2025, All Above All released a statement on its website opposing the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to be Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), claiming his leadership “prioritizes conspiracy over science.” 24
2025 Budget Bill
In July 2025, All Above All released a statement opposing Congress’ passage of the 2025 budget reconciliation bill, also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” by calling it a “backdoor abortion ban.” The group also argued the new bill, “raises health care costs, abandons families who rely on SNAP, imposes work requirements, closes rural hospitals, and more – and if that is not enough – anti-abortion extremists made sure Planned Parenthood is defunded.” The statement further alleged it, “sells out the American people for a corporate tax break. It takes away reproductive health care, strips away coverage from millions, makes our environment worse, will cost people’s jobs, and fundamentally abandons the American dream as we know it.” 25
Obamacare Premium Credit Negotiations
In September 2025, All Above All organized a joint letter signed by 70 pro-abortion groups and sent to lawmakers which urged recipients to permanently expand Obamacare premium tax credits initially created during the COVID-19 pandemic. The letter argued that “new federal restrictions would force insurers to drop abortion coverage or exit ACA marketplaces.” 26
Leadership and Partner Organizations
As of October 2025, Nourbese Flint is the president of both All Above All and All Above All Action Fund. She was previously the group’s vice president of strategy. Before joining the group, Flint worked as the senior director of Black engagement at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Before joining PPFA, Flint worked as the founding executive director of the Black Women for Wellness Action Project. She is a founding member of Trust Black Women and one of the founders of the Black Women’s Democratic Club. 27 Flint became president in January 2024. 28
Victoria Cepeida-Mojarro is the vice president of organizing and mobilization. Cepeida-Mojarro is also the All Above All Action Fund executive director. Previously, she worked for Groundswell Action Fund. 27
