Want to learn more about Reproductive Justice?
Reproductive Justice is defined by SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective as the human right to have a child or not, and parent their children with dignity and respect.
But here's the thing: Black women, trans, and non-binary people across the country are being denied access to basic forms of reproductive healthcare, free from bias and discrimination. What's worse?
At least 1,200 people around the country have been prosecuted and punished for actions that include things like taking legal drugs prescribed by their doctor, having a miscarriage, addiction, getting into a car accident, and even falling down the stairs.
Birthing people and their loved ones are being forced to live in fear that a pregnancy outcome could result in a prison sentence. That's why we're fighting back.
Our people deserve dignity and respect when choosing to have a child or not, and parent their children in safe and sustainable environments. Pregnancy and all of its potential outcomes -- birth, abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth are personal matters, NOT police matters.
At Color of Change, we're building out a series of campaigns highlighting stories of pregnancy and motherhood, but we need your help to do it.
