About the Event
Reproductive justice is both a movement and framework that reveals the interrelatedness of issues stemming from systemic anti-Black racism: birthing people’s lack of access to medical care, environmental racism, the state’s legacy of sterilizing people of color, community violence, family separation, the child welfare system, mass incarceration, and more. At this event, activist, public intellectual, and scholar Loretta Ross (bio), who is credited with having coined the term “reproductive justice,” will speak on the origins and contours of the reproductive justice movement and its future in the U.S. Her remarks will provide a groundwork for recognizing the interrelatedness of injustices, their systemic roots, their future iterations, and how to combat them.
