Pro-Choice Minnesota was founded in 1966, before abortion was legalized in the United States.

 

Mission

Pro-Choice Minnesota’s mission is to build collective power to remove barriers, strengthen protections, and expand access to abortion and all reproductive healthcare in Minnesota.

Vision

Pro-Choice Minnesota’s vision is reproductive freedom across Minnesota.

Values

Bodily Autonomy 

We believe that every person has the right to make choices about their body’s reproduction, free from restriction and oppression. 

Collective Action

We believe that organizing allies, activating Minnesotan’s who support abortion access, and mobilizing together, is the best way to build the power for change in our political system. 

Equity & Intersectionality

We believe that to achieve equal reproductive freedom, we must bring an intersectional approach to our work, our movement, and our society. We must center the voices of those who are most restricted from that freedom along lines of race, gender, sexuality, ability, class, and culture.

Caring Accountability

We support our movement’s growth by holding ourselves accountable to the mistakes of its past and the promise of its future. We recognize the harm that white women in our movement have done to Women of Color and will support each other in addressing and healing that harm.

Supportive Community

We must remember what binds us together and remember how our movement has been divided, especially along lines of race and class. We believe that a supportive community neutralizes the stigma and judgment that people feel about abortion and reproductive health care. We believe that by caring for ourselves and each other we can sustain our critical work and our critical work can sustain us.
