Julie Burkhart

Julie Burkhart, founder and CEO of Trust Women, worked for seven years side by side with Dr. George Tiller, who was murdered in 2009 for trusting in women to make their own choices about abortion. Upon returning to the Midwest from Seattle, she chaired the Wichita Choice Alliance, and spokeswoman for Dr. Tiller. She built and ran ProKanDo, which was created by Dr. Tiller and was the largest political action committee in Kansas. Trust Women opens clinics in underserved communities and believes that all people should have access to reproductive health care no matter where they live or their ability to pay.
