We are proud to publish our first five-year Strategic Plan during a uniquely critical moment for reproductive and human rights in the United States. Even during this time of volatility and rapid change, our five-year plan is both visionary and ambitious. We recognize that it will take intentional and committed action to reverse the cascade of abortion care bans across the US.
Washington is not a sanctuary state by luck. It has taken us decades of unrelenting activism, progressive candidate support, and community mobilization. And it will take even more to maintain it going forward.
This is why we built a bold strategic plan, rooted in our values, and committed to long-term change. With a small budget and team, Pro-Choice Washington already has outsized impact, but we recognize the urgent need to scale even more to meet this critical moment.
Strategic Approach
Based on direct community feedback and deep self-reflection since 2021, Pro-Choice Washington recognizes our unique value add to the reproductive health, rights, and justice ecosystem as leading in legislative advocacy, mobilizing strong candidates, being a bridge and a connector across partners and movements, and being a bold and independent voice. We built our strategic approach based on our value add and our best practices.
Our Objectives are to Become:
A LEADER IN BOLD LEGISLATIVE AND GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY
To build an exemplary and proactive policy environment that ensures everyone has equitable access to complete abortion, sexual, and reproductive healthcare information, and services, through the shaping of legislation.
A MOBILIZER OF REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM CHAMPIONS
To support the election of abortion and social justice champions at all levels of government to drive change from the ground-up and build to a supermajority in the legislature.
A BRIDGE AND A CONNECTOR ACROSS PARTNERS AND ISSUES
To create an enduring and intergenerational reproductive freedom movement by engaging and elevating local activists.
AN INDEPENDENT VOICE WHO UNAPOLOGETICALLY CHAMPIONS THE RANGE OF ISSUES IMPACTING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, RIGHTS, AND JUSTICE IN WASHINGTON
To be the go-to, trusted source of information that advances abortion rights, healthcare access, and social justice.
A DEEP BELIEVER IN OUR PEOPLE AND BUILDING ANTI-OPPRESSION INTO OUR CORE
