We’re excited to share that we’re partnering with Creative Artists Agency to advise on their Full Story Initiative and to bring Black Reproductive Justice perspectives and resources to creatives telling stories across film and TV!

From the characters we connect with to the stories that stick with us, we know that what we watch shapes how we see the world. When Black women's experiences are part of those stories, it opens the door to more informed, nuanced conversations about our lives and more equitable policies.

Our Black Reproductive Justice Pledge reflects what Black women and birthing people have demanded for generations: full autonomy over our bodies and our lives.

With hundreds of individuals and organizations who have taken the pledge, it is a powerful reminder of our shared commitment to protecting these rights, especially as they continue to face threats.

Together, we're continuing the work to make Reproductive Justice a reality for our communities, now and for generations to come.

Black women have always made their mark on the art world. But when you walk through many museum collections, our work is often still missing.

That’s something curators Tammi Lawson and La Tanya Autry wanted to change at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library in Harlem, and why they brought “Forging Ahead: Recent Acquisitions” to life.

The exhibition features work from 21 Black women artists from around the world, sharing their experiences and showing Black womanhood through their own eyes.

When Black women get to tell our own stories, we push back on stereotypes and make more room for future generations to tell theirs, too.

See “Forging Ahead: Recent Acquisitions” at the Schomburg Center in Harlem through March 2027.

Reproductive Justice 🤝 LGBTQIA+ rights.

Reproductive justice is not only about the right to not have children, but also the right to have children, and then raise those children in a safe environment. When trans and q***r people are being attacked daily, it doesn’t allow for the ability to raise children in a safe environment.

Make sure to include LGBTQIA+ rights in your conversations about reproductive justice.

How do you make your voice heard? 🎤🤔

From voting to organizing and speaking up on the issues that matter, young people have the power to shape the decisions that affect their lives and communities.

We asked our Next Generation Leadership Institute Fellows what civic engagement means to them and how they are encouraging other HBCU students to stay informed and engaged. Watch to see what they had to say.

Your vote is your superpower!

During Reproductive Justice Week of Action, we're celebrating the next generation of leaders building civic power in their communities.

At the University of the District of Columbia, our Next Gen Leadership Institute Fellow Skye is engaging students around voting and the importance of making their voices heard.

Because Reproductive Justice is also about having the information, resources, and power to shape the decisions that affect our lives and communities.

Today kicks off Reproductive Justice Week of Action! This week, we’re highlighting the many issues that make up the Reproductive Justice movement and reminding folks that Reproductive Justice is about more than the right to choose.

Economic security? That's RJ Too.
Maternal health? That's RJ Too.
LGBTQIA+ freedom? That's RJ Too.
Housing justice? That's RJ Too.
Voting rights and democracy? That's RJ Too.

Because our ability to make decisions about our bodies, families, and futures is shaped by the conditions we live in. All week long, we’ll be lifting up the issues, policies, and movements that make reproductive freedom possible. Follow along and join us as we show you what ’sRJToo really means.

"What does it mean to have access to abortions during that time when you don't even have access to a doctor, period? When there's no healthcare in your community?"

Reproductive Justice Pioneer Marsha Jones, in conversation with Outspoken host Dr. Regina Davis Moss, on why reproductive justice has to go upstream. "It is housing, it is poverty, it is gender inequities, it is all of those things," she says. And the framework doesn't stop at naming them. It's there "to build a clear path out."

Abortion bans could now reach beyond the states where they were passed.

State officials in Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas are asking the Supreme Court to strike down laws that protect providers who prescribe and mail abortion pills to people living in other states that support abortion rights.

If they succeed, getting abortion care could become even harder for people already navigating distance, cost and other barriers just to get the care they need.

Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people know what it looks like when politicians try to make decisions about our bodies instead of trusting us to make them ourselves. We don't need more barriers standing between our communities and the care we deserve.

Where you live should never determine whether you can access healthcare or how much control you have over your own body.
