Activism[edit]
Education and Title IX[edit]
Vianna’s early activism and advocacy focused on education and Title IX. In 2012, Vianna created a petition against the Delhi Charter School in Louisiana end a policy mandating pregnancy tests for all female students.[5]Vianna's petition gained support from the ACLU, National Women's Law Center, and signatures from over 126,000 people, bringing national attention to the issue. The petition and campaign forced Delhi Charter School to drop its mandated tests on the grounds that the tests were a violation of Federal Law Title IX and an invasion of privacy.[6]
In 2012, Vianna also collaborated with former Boston City Councilor, Ayanna Pressley and Boston Public Schools to develop a dropout prevention policy for Boston Public Schools students. The policy was passed and implemented in 2015 across 120 schools.
Reproductive Justice[edit]
Vianna advocates for inclusive sexual education and stigma-free educational campaigns from federally-funded and non-profit organizations, such as The Candie’s Foundation, The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unintended Pregnancy, and New York City Human Resources Administration.[7]
In 2013, Vianna co-founded noteenshame.org to raise awareness of sexual assault and reproductive stigma impacting young women. The organization educates policymakers and health professionals on the negative impact of stigma on young women, their sexual and reproductive choices, and their roles as parents. Vianna also created national marketing campaigns to raise awareness of how young women's reproductive choices are portrayed in entertainment and media. [8]
Technology[edit]
Most recently, in an article in STAT in 2018, Vianna also spoke about unique challenges for women of color and inclusion in the technology and healthcare workforces. "Many women of color like me aren’t just thinking about growing our own careers today," Natasha shared. "But we are changing the dynamic for other women, people with underrepresented identities, and young people who may follow us."[9]
