Overview
Mission
To safeguard religious liberties and affirm pregnant people as moral decision makers, so that every person is free to make decisions about when to have children according to their own conscience and religious beliefs without government interference.
What it reported doing in 2024
Deepened our relationships with regional faith leaders, congregations and people of faith and conscience to shift the dominant narrative around abortion to one that centers bodily autonomy, reproductive justice and the right to make decisions about one's own body and reproductive health according to each individuals faith and values. Connected with community members and clients in both english and spanish to assist with connections to clergy, providers, resources and practical support. Continued to develop internal policies that support reproductive justice aligned organizational culture of access, inclusion and belonging so that we can better serve our local, regional and national partners in our joint cause of protecting bodily autonomy and access to reproductive healthcare.
