How we do work

Ozark Circle for Choice was founded with the idea that many hands make light work. While the original goal was to simply create a collective to provide support and information for folks seeking abortion, we’ve grown into a mutual aid organization with much deeper roots.

Some things you should be aware of:

• We move at the speed of trust. Given the sensitive nature of the support we provide, it’s important to have relationships with each other to build that trust.

• We’re a horizontal organization, which means there’s no one person or people in charge. All of our projects are started by someone with interest and all of our decisions are made collectively.

• We all have other full time jobs alongside other life commitments. OCC is a project that we’re very passionate about, but it’s not the only thing we have going on. It’s a constant balance to make sure we’re taking care of ourselves alongside this work.

This can all mean that it’ll take some time to get new folks into the organization and that’s okay. Persistence and patience goes a long way in this work.
