Stephanie Loraine Piñeiro (she/they) is a proud queer Puerto Rican woman based in Central Florida who is an award-winning reproductive justice advocate and abortion storyteller. She works as the Executive Director of Florida Access Network.
Florida
Access Network builds pathways for abortion access by advocating for reproductive justice, funding abortion care, and providing logistical support to make abortion access a reality.
She received her Master's of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2015 and since then has worked in the nonprofit sector, focused on social justice.
The Florida Department of Agriculture recognized Stephanie’s nonprofit leadership and contributions to Reproductive Justice with a proclamation during Women’s History Month in 2022; she’s testified as an expert witness in Congress; she was awarded the 120 Under 40 award by the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute, she produced Jevas Combativas - the only Spanish-language Feminist Commercial Radio Show in the United States from 2019-2021; and her abortion story and expertise about abortion is frequently in countless local, national and international publications.
A loving older sister, she finds fulfillment in the outdoors, laughter, and learning.
