Organization Overview
CLRJ is the leading California-based Latina/e Reproductive Justice organization and is the only statewide organization whose mission focuses specifically on promoting Latinas’/es’ Reproductive Justice. Reproductive Justice is a framework for movement building developed by Black and Indigenous and other women of color that simultaneously prioritizes the rights to: 1) not have children, and control one’s fertility accordingly through access to critical reproductive health service, including abortion; 2) have children if one so chooses, and be free of interference in one’s reproductive life by the state or other institutions; 3) parent the children one has in safe and healthy environments; 4) bodily autonomy.
We build Latinas’/es’ power - particularly the most underserved Latinas/es, low-income women of color, and immigrant women - through policy advocacy, community organizing, alliance-building, leadership development and long-term movement building strategies.
