We condemn the racist, sexist attacks against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and are heartbroken by this week's murders. Please read and sign the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum's petition demanding community-driven solutions and responses to anti-Asian hatred and violence: Petition: Respond to Hate and Violence Against Asian American Women — NAPAWF
We created and shared some awesome graphics focused on being pro-abortion and uplifting our #BadFaithMedicine campaign.
Reproaction hosted new screenings of Personhood in Wisconsin from February 22 through March 5. The documentary tells the story of Tammy Loertscher, a woman living in Wisconsin when she was referred to the state for investigation of alleged “unborn child abuse.” If you missed it, please sign up here to receive more information on when we’ll have our next Personhood documentary screening.
Reproaction co-sponsored a webinar panel discussion with the Missouri HIV Justice Coalition and The Black Treatment Advocates Network’s Kansas City chapter about the designation of HIV as solely a health issue despite its disproportionate impact on Black communities. The message was clear: HIV is a racial justice issue. You can check this webinar out here.
We hosted two ‘How to Talk about Abortion’ trainings with NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland. The first was with Maryland NOW and you can listen to a recording here. The second was with Blue Ridge Abortion Fund and you can listen to a recording here.
We’re proud to be spotlighted in Groundswell Fund 2020 Catalyst Fund Docket.
