This broadcast focuses on organizing for reproductive justice. At the end of March, Congress passed a bill allowing states to deny funding to family planning groups that offer abortion services – groups like Planned Parenthood. Now, Pennsylvania and Michigan have introduced legislation to join over a dozen states in doing just that. Loretta Ross, co-founder of SisterSong, will break down the reproductive justice framework; and Tina Reynolds, co-founder and chair of Women on the Rise Telling HerStory, shares how a group of formerly incarcerated women came together to fight for the right to give birth to and raise children in healthy and safe environments.
