It’s one thing for an organization to align itself with Reproductive Justice (RJ) in theory, but it’s another to embody those values in daily operations.

Executive directors of RJ organizations represent their organization’s stance in statements, partnerships, and programming. But what’s happening behind the scenes?

If you’re leading an organization that claims to embrace RJ, the most honest question you can ask is: Do our internal policies reflect our RJ values?
