Jex Blackmore (born 1986) is an American journalist, filmmaker, reproductive rights activist, and former director of the Detroit chapter of the Satanic Temple.

Work with Satanic Temple
Blackmore initially learned of the Satanic Temple in 2013; shortly after, she began working with them. The group's Detroit chapter launched in September 2014, with Blackmore serving as its inaugural head.

Activism
In 2016, in response to the passing of a bill by Texas lawmakers requiring funeral services to be held for fetuses, Blackmore organized a campaign to send Texas governor Greg Abbott articles of clothing covered in semen or semen-like substances. Dubbed "Cumrags for Congress", the intent of the campaign was to highlight what Blackmore perceived as the hypocrisy of venerating fetal tissue while refusing to do the same for semen, arguing that both have the potential to become human.
