Expanding the Movement for Empowerment and Reproductive Justice

Movement Building Indicators

Many reproductive justice organizations are grappling with the reality that existing evaluation methods are grounded in a pro-choice framework that doesn't directly apply to our work.

Have you found yourself stuck with the following questions?

  • How do I develop shared language and analysis among my networks, allies, or staff?
  • How do we evaluate the impact of our movement building work?
  • How do I make the case to funders?

Movement Building Indicators provides effective ways to assess leadership development, policy advocacy, communications, and relationship building with easy-to-use worksheets to guide your work.

Rather than simply being a reporting mechanism, Movement Building Indicators has multiple strategic objectives: developing a shared language and analysis of reproductive justice; articulating the benefits of using a reproductive justice framework as a base building tool; strategic planning at the local, regional and national levels; and strategic communications.
