Collective Values

Our collective is based on the principles of reproductive justice, actively working on employing an anti-racism/anti-oppression framework in the care that we provide and in the way that we operate as a group. We work to dismantle habits of white supremacy in our organizational model and in our relationship with our patients, clinic staff, and each other.

We reject transphobia and homophobia and welcome nontraditional gender expressions within the collective, and strive to elevate the voices and concerns of marginalized gender identities.

Our patients all have different identities and life circumstances that bring them to the clinics we serve, and we believe it is critical that we as a collective reflect our patients.

For these reasons, and many more, we highly encourage folks of color, folks with disabilities, and multilingual individuals to apply.
