Organizational leaders Dorothy Roberts and Sujatha Jesudason (2013) write: "Generations Ahead is a social justice organization that brings diverse communities together to expand the public debate on genetic technologies and promote policies that protect human rights and affirm a shared humanity."

Generations Ahead works across movements, including reproductive justice, LGBTQ+ liberation, women's rights, and disability rights to build a shared social justice analysis on genetic technologies, and to impact and develop strategic campaigns.

The organization will close in 2012, but both Roberts and Jesudason's impactful work will continue through writing, research, and action.
