In this episode, Diana talks to Monica Simpson, the Executive Director of the Sister Song, the Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective based in Atlanta, Georgia.
They discuss the difference between reproductive justice and reproductive rights, and why that nuance is important, a perfect conversation since we just celebrated the 25 years since its creation, the struggles and the wins of the reprojustice movement and why Sister Song is suing the Governor of Georgia.
They also discuss activist work, how to support Black women, and why it's important to bring movements to the people.
