Instructor: Leslie Mac

Reproductive Justice (RJ) is a visionary framework created by Black women that expands the fight for reproductive freedom to include racial, economic, and gender justice. This 90-minute interactive workshop will explore the history and principles of RJ, how it differs from reproductive health and rights, and why it remains essential to liberation movements today.

We’ll trace the origins of RJ, honor the movement’s founding mothers, and examine how issues like maternal mortality, environmental racism, and trans and queer reproductive rights connect under this expansive lens. Participants will engage with case studies, reflect on their own experiences, and leave with resources to continue learning and organizing.

This session is for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of RJ—whether you're new to the concept or looking to sharpen your lens. Come ready to learn, connect, and reimagine what justice really looks like when we center the lives of the most impacted.
