Catholics for Choice Proudly Announces Caitlin Borgmann and Chris Wimbush as the New Co-Presidents of the Organization
A Collaborative Leadership for Pro-Choice Catholic Voices in Reproductive Freedom
WASHINGTON — Catholics for Choice, which serves the pro-choice Catholic majority, released the following statement announcing Caitlin Borgmann and Chris Wimbush as new Co-Presidents of the organization:
“I am thrilled to welcome Caitlin Borgmann and Chris Wimbush into this moment,” said Erin Matson, Chair of the Board of Directors. “Each of them brings extraordinary experience and heart to this work. Caitlin Borgmann built her career at the center of the reproductive rights movement, with deep expertise in programmatic strategy and policy advocacy. Chris Wimbush, our former Interim President, offers years of trusted leadership, operational excellence, and invaluable institutional knowledge. Together, they embody the collaborative, dynamic leadership Catholics for Choice is proud to put forward as we advance our vital work and contribute to a stronger reproductive rights movement.”
“Joining Catholics for Choice at such a pivotal moment for the reproductive rights movement is an exciting next step in the work I’ve always been called to do,” said Caitlin Borgmann, Co-President for Programs and Development. “For decades, I’ve advanced reproductive freedom through scholarship, policy, and advocacy work. The pro-choice Catholic movement sits at an intersection that has shaped my life from the beginning: a commitment to reproductive freedom grounded in faith, not in spite of it. In Catholics for Choice, I see a community that has never stopped showing up so that people can follow their conscience when making reproductive choices. I can’t wait to get to work alongside Chris Wimbush and this incredible team.”
“My time at Catholics for Choice has shown me the strength of the pro-choice Catholic movement and the people who carry this mission forward every day,” said Chris Wimbush, Co-President for Executive Administration. “This work matters more than ever because the movement that overturned Roe was a religious one. I do this work because the reach of the Catholic church’s views on reproductive rights is concrete, and it extends to everyone, regardless of faith. I’m honored to continue guiding Catholics for Choice’s operations and providing the institutional foundation that makes everything else possible, now in partnership with Caitlin Borgmann, as we carry this work forward together.”
“As we look ahead with excitement to the future, we also express our gratitude to our past president, Jamie Manson,” continued Erin Matson. “We invite all pro-choice Catholics to join us in support of a strong, vibrant, faith-forward movement for reproductive freedom.”
