Description:


 


This week, Randi talked with La’Tasha Mayes and  Jasmine Burnett of New Voices Pittsburgh. They’re working to bring Reproductive Justice to Western Pennsylvania and Northeast Ohio and beyond.


Reproductive Justice is their innovative framework to engage Black women and girls in local, national and global movement-building for human rights, racial and gender justice.


Their discussion began with an exploration of Reproductive Justice as a concept, significantly different than the fight for reproductive rights. They branch out to involving Black men in the effort, sexual violence and gender-based violence, imprisonment of Black citizens, and environmental issues.
