About the Event

Reproductive justice is both a movement and a 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 address the origins, contours, and future of the reproductive justice movement in the United States. Her remarks will provide a groundwork for recognizing the interrelatedness of injustices, their systemic roots, their future iterations, and how to combat them.
