Silvia Henriquez is program officer on the Gender, Racial and Ethnic Justice team. She has over 20 years of experience as an advocate, coalition-builder and organizer in the fields of reproductive rights and justice.

Prior to Ford, Silvia was a co-founder and co-president of the All* Above All campaign, a multiyear effort dedicated to culture change, federal and state advocacy, and building cross-movement support for advancing access to abortion. Created 2010 as the Hyde Working Group, the campaign has since evolved into a catalyst for abortion justice centering people of color working to make ends meet at the intersections of immigrant, economic and racial justice.

Before All* Above All, Silvia was the executive director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice for eight years. Under her leadership, the institute developed a national policy agenda, built a successful organizing and leadership model in states, and developed public opinion research and messages that shifted support towards abortion access in Latinx communities.
