Bio
Intact America envisions a world where children are protected from permanent bodily alteration inflicted on them without their consent. Visit our website to learn more: http://www.intactamerica.org/
Founded in 2008, thanks to funding from a private donor, Intact America is the most recent expression of a movement against infant circumcision that has been active and expanding for decades.
Georganne Chapin, a leader in the fight for ethical, cost-effective and high quality health care, is Intact America’s founding executive director. Ms. Chapin holds a BA in anthropology from Barnard College, an MPhil in sociomedical sciences from Columbia University, and a JD from Pace University School of Law.

Intact America counts among its advisors many long-term Intactivists, as well as many new people who have embraced Intact America’s commitment to protect all babies and children–male and female–from the forced modification of their genitalia. Learn more here: http://www.intactamerica.org/aboutus
Intact America operates under the auspices of the Hudson Center for Health Equity & Quality, a not-for-profit organization that is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code.
MISSION STATEMENT
Intact America works to protect babies and children from circumcision and all other forms of medically unnecessary genital alteration, whether carried out for cultural conformity or profit, in medical or non-medical settings.
We seek to achieve our goals through education, advocacy, public policy reform, and the empowerment of our supporters, partners, and volunteers.
