Hi John,

It’s always crucial to ground our activism in the principles of reproductive justice. Rooted in the leadership of Black women, reproductive justice demands more than legal access to abortion—it calls for the right to parent in safe and healthy communities, for full bodily autonomy, and for freedom from oppression. Black women and birthing people face disproportionate criminalization and pregnancy-related deaths, realities that make our fight for self-managed abortion access even more urgent. Reproductive justice is not simply a framework; it’s a necessity. Let’s ensure our work reflects that truth.
