Executive Summary
The Medicaid and Reproductive Justice (RJ) Collaborative is comprised of Advocates for Youth, In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum, National Health Law Program, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, and Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity. Together, we have developed RJ Principles for Universal Health Care Reform for policymakers and advocates. In recognition of the thirtieth anniversary of the RJ movement, our Principles aim to build on the RJ founders’ vision for health care reform articulated in their letter to Congress, “Black Women on Health Care Reform.”
We have also developed accompanying “Reproductive Justice Values for Federal Universal Health Care Reform” for the broader public. Our values are available in a number of languages.
