We, the people of Mayflower Congregational UCC Church in Oklahoma City recognize that we all are a part of many communities, from individual families to our Congregation, to our many places in the world.  All of these communities were formed by those who have come before us, through both good and harmful practices and laws.  We, as the Mayflower community now recognize an inherent need for Reproductive Justice. It is our intent to make our communities stronger by acknowledging when and where practices and laws fall short which keeps individuals from choosing and achieving their reproductive wellbeing.  We, as a community, will work in all ways possible to make changes that will help all realize their fully human potential.

We, the people of Mayflower Congregational UCC Church in Oklahoma City, affirm the following principals:

1. All creation is good and includes a beautiful diversity of sacred bodies, sexualities, and reproductive journeys.
2. The dignity of sacred bodies and the moral agency of all people deserve respect, including the bodily autonomy and agency of women, queer people, gender diverse people, people with disabilities, immigrants, Indigenous populations, and people of color who have often been denied this respect.
3. Reproduction is a sacred responsibility, and prayerful decisions to have children, to not have children, or to end a pregnancy can be equally moral.

Therefore, we the people of Mayflower Congregational UCC Church in Oklahoma City, commit to:

1. Creating loving, justice-seeking faith communities where shame, judgement or stigma for diverse reproductive decisions and journeys have no place.
2. Supporting the work of parenting and the healthy growth of children in safe, sustainable, nurturing communities.
3. Advocating for equitable access to the full spectrum of comprehensive reproductive healthcare as a moral and social good, and supporting fulfillment of reproductive moral agency and flourishing for all.

In adopting these affirmations and commitments,  we, the people of Mayflower Congregational UCC Church in Oklahoma City, covenant with our communities to work toward Reproductive Justice for all persons, striving to seek Justice, to embody kindness and to walk humbly with our God throughout our Journey.
