To our fellow Southerners –
We’re very excited to say that it’s time for our second ever Catalysts for Reproductive Justice Fellowship!
The purpose of the fellowship is to build and restore power in Southern communities that have been directly impacted by the overturning of Roe v Wade. We know that reproductive autonomy is central to liberation, especially Black liberation, so this fellowship will not only exchange knowledge with people closest to the pain but it will also put power and resources in their hands.
During this fellowship we will:
- Provide attendees with comprehensive LGBTQIA+ inclusive sex education and information on: maternal health, dismantling patriarchy, as well as the current legal landscape and how to take action.
- Arm participants with safer sex kits that include emergency contraceptives to have for distribution in their neighborhoods.
- Share First Amendment protected information on self-managed abortion and how to stay safe online.
