Pregnancy Justice Inc

Public education:we develop messaging and engage in media strategy to further our mission, raise public awareness, and shift the narrative. We build relationships with journalists, providing resources and messaging, and use the media and social media to shift societal views and strengthen advocates' ability to defend the personhood and bodily autonomy of pregnant people.

Research:we track and document cases of pregnancy-related criminalization in the country and analyze data to identify trends in prosecution, who is targeted, on what basis, and where. The data is published in annual updates and in periodic reports. We also publish research and legal analysis on a variety of topics connected to our mission.

Coalition building:pregnancy justice supports and participates in coalition building at the local and national levels. We occupy a unique position at the intersection of the movements for reproductive justice, racial justice, criminal legal system reform, drug policy reform, and the movement to end family policing, and we accomplish our work in deep collaboration with partners across multiple movements and disciplines. Pregnancy justice helps to support grassroots partners, coalitions, and stakeholders to advocate for the needs of pregnant people at the state level. Pregnancy justice presents at conferences and continuing education programs that build partnerships within and beyond the reproductive rights and justice movements, including the private bar and other professions, government officials, and other movements. Pregnancy justice also works at the national level to mobilize medical and health experts, organizations, and academics to engage in our work.
