John,
This Juneteenth, a vibrant group of Black reproductive justice leaders, accompanied by a range of civil rights and Black-led organizations, will lead a march at the Supreme Court to advocate for the biggest threat to Black lives at this moment: attacks on our bodily autonomy and freedom.
This will be the largest Black woman-led demonstration since the horrific leaked Supreme Court decision that suggests Roe v. Wade will be overturned this year.
As a multi-racial base, Women’s Marchers know that we do not live single-issue lives, and we do not focus on singular issues. There is a long history of Black women being denied control of their bodies and reproduction. By following the leadership of Black reproductive justice organizers, we confront both white supremacy and patriarchal violence.
We must fight for Black women's freedom to bring about the feminist future we long for.
This emancipation weekend, we must answer the call from Black Feminist Future, SisterSong, and Black reproductive justice leaders to support Black Bodies for Black Power.
When: Saturday, June 18, 2022, and Sunday, June 19, 2022
Where: Washington, D.C.
Who can attend: This space is centering Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people. Accomplices and allies are welcome to attend.
Now is the time to listen, follow, and trust Black women.
If you can’t RSVP for the event in D.C., you can still support from a distance. Go to BlackBodiesForBlackPower.com to get updates, spread the word, or donate.
Together,
Women's March
