Reproductive Justice Foundations is an interactive workshop for learning about reproductive justice through the history of resistance in the U.S. context.
We hope this session will be an invitation to:
Learn what reproductive justice is
Gain insights about issues and actions in RJ history that are relevant to our present context
Spark interest to learn more and engage with RJ in ways that are relevant to your life
This session is rooted in the pillar of solidarity - learning from histories of solidarity and our movement ancestors' wisdom, and connecting them with our own histories, can help uncover the possibility and necessity of solidarity in our present realities and actions. There are themes in the stories we will explore that also touch on abolition and mutual aid.
RJ Foundations is designed to be accessible for people completely or quite new to RJ. AND we believe that exploring and engaging RJ history can have relevant and critical impact anywhere in folks' trajectories.
