All* Above All envisions a world where all people, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or geographic location, have complete autonomy over their reproductive health.
*
This includes unrestricted access to affordable, safe abortion services, as well as comprehensive sexual and reproductive health. In short, All* works for a world where all people can make decisions about their pregnancy free from stigma, with dignity in safe and just environments. A world where reproductive justice is a reality for all.
Our Mission
All* Above All (All*) unites organizations and individuals to build a world where all people can make decisions about their reproductive healthcare, including abortion, free from stigma, with dignity in safe and just environments.
What’s in a name?
All* Above All started as a campaign with the goal of lifting up the harmful and discriminatory abortion insurance coverage bans that disproportionately impact people of color and those working to make ends meet.
Our name speaks to the idea of all means all of us, women, LGBTQ, people of color, poor and working class people, people in rural areas etc that are so often left out of the conversation; often times the asterisk at the bottom when policies are passed without our communities at the table or even in consideration.
Our Framework
In the spirit of the Reproductive Justice framework, created by Black women in 1994 to “advance sexual and reproductive agenda that offered an intersectional analysis on the unique concerns and lived experiences of women and girls of color”, All* draws upon this framework to work, with an emphasis on abortion access.
All* believes that in order for people to have full autonomy in deciding if, when, and with whom they create family and to do that with dignity, free from stigma, and without financial barriers. We must address economic, racial, and gender inequities steeped into our society.
A core part of our work is to embody a bold, fearless vision for reproductive justice that is centered in one’s fundamental freedom to make decisions about their own bodies, lives, and reproductive futures.
