Peace All-Options Community,
Earlier this week, our Board of Directors sent an important message announcing our recent leadership transition and some hard news: All-Options is facing a very real possibility of closing our organization by the end of June 2025. As the Interim Executive Director, I want to take this opportunity to personally introduce myself as well as share more information about what we’re up to in the coming months.
When I joined the All-Options team in November 2023, I arrived with a deep love and unwavering commitment to reproductive justice, ready to steward our programs in an increasingly hostile and uncertain post-Roe political landscape. For the last 14 months, I’ve had the privilege to serve as the National Programs Director. In this capacity, I worked alongside an inspiring team of staff and volunteers dedicated to supporting all people navigating pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption.
Stepping into the Interim Executive Director position is bittersweet – it is truly an honor to serve our All-Options community during this time of unprecedented transition, however, I’m inheriting some challenging and sobering financial realities. This is a pivotal moment for All-Options, and I am committed to carrying forward the values and vision that make this organization so special.
During my first weeks as Interim Executive Director, I met with our staff, Board, and volunteers, and we all agreed – our top priority is the well-being of our clients, callers, and the communities we serve. We are working hard to ensure that All-Options continues to meet their needs in viable and sustainable ways. However, this may require significant shifts such as reducing and restructuring our staff, rehoming some programs to values-aligned organizations, and/or operating with a primarily (or entirely) volunteer-led and run infrastructure. No matter what happens, I will steward our beloved organization with dignity and respect.
The need for our work has never been more urgent. Your support and donations remain invaluable in helping us sustain our programs, provide critical resources for those who rely on us, and navigate our next steps with integrity, grace and compassion. We are grateful for everyone who has already contributed! And we hope you will continue sharing our story as well as what All-Options means to you.
I look forward to providing updates in the weeks and months ahead. In the meantime, please review and share our FAQs. We know this is a lot of information to digest and hard news to hear, but our commitment to openness and clarity means we want you to hear this news directly from us.
Thank you again for being part of the All-Options community! Your support and care mean the world to us, and I’m excited to partner with you as we move forward together.
With deep love and infinite gratitude,
Taja Lindley
Interim Executive Director
