In the Brave Space: Reproductive Justice Network Gathering, we will grow a vision for a reproductive justice movement that weaves together multiple voices and campaigns and generates ideas for collaborative media projects. The reproductive justice movement is rooted in the belief that real reproductive freedom comes when we have the power and resources to make decisions about our bodies. This means that reproductive justice is holistically interconnected with the struggles for rights of immigrants, workers, youth, and LGBTQ people; for economic, environmental, and racial justice; and for ending mass incarceration, for freedom from violence, and for access to health care and education that affirms our identities and our bodies. In this network gathering, participants will explore the intersections between these movements and walk away with a better understanding of how to incorporate reproductive justice into their advocacy and organizing. We will develop a list of campaigns and media projects we can support, co-create art and media that amplifies participants’ local work, and build new relationships and opportunities for cross-movement collaboration.
