Beloved Community,
We need to have a real conversation today. As the only reproductive justice (RJ) organization in Nebraska, we take our role in this community and the larger ecosystem very seriously.
How we show up is guided by those RJ principles:
💜We dismantle power systems
💜We address intersecting systems of oppression
💜We center and uplift those most impacted by those systems
💜We build power and choice in our community
While much of our work supports people who are choosing to be pregnant and parent, our commitment is to the full spectrum of reproductive care.
At our community baby shower on Oct 24, we had a vendor that does not fully align with the values we hold and the commitment we made to the community.
This vendor is an unregulated pregnancy center that deters people from their choices in accessing abortion, contraception, and other evidence-based reproductive health care.
We believe we are the experts in our own lives. Our bodies and our informed decisions must be respected. That means having access to accurate information and support without pressure, shame or judgment. These beliefs must guide the resources and organizations we bring into our spaces.
You came to our baby shower to celebrate, find support and connect with resources for yourself and your family. In that space, you deserved to feel safe, respected and supported in your decisions, and by including this vendor, we fell short of that commitment.
We take accountability for the harm it may have caused.
We hope by being transparent we can begin to repair trust. We know that takes more than words and it means making sure the resources we share respect your decisions, your body and your future.
