Reproductive Justice: Choosing a Broader Movement

Synopsis

The maternal mortality of African American women is four times that of white women. The U.S. government prioritizes abstinence-only HIV prevention. Wal-Mart refuses to sell emergency contraception. Toxic military sites in Alaska threaten the reproductive health of Native American women. Clearly, reproductive rights reaches beyond just choice. Join us to explore funding strategies for a reproductive justice movement that wins on choice and other key issues by engaging under-represented communities and connecting to other movements.
