Would you mind explaining what MMJI is?

SEP calls it

a form of judgment internalism, which holds that a necessary connection exists between sincere moral judgment and either justifying reasons or motives: necessarily, if an individual sincerely judges that she ought to φ, then she has a reason or motive to φ

I call it a metaethical thesis because its advocates usually consider it part of the meaning of ethical judgments.
