Welcome to our ActiviTEA series, curated by the TEA Fund Programming TEAm.
ActiviTEAs are dedicated to creating opportunities for you to support Reproductive Justice efforts in your community.
This month, we’re highlighting the history of Reproductive Justice and how you can be a more knowledgeable, informed RJ advocate.
Why are we diving into RJ history this month?
This month we want to dedicate time to learning about the history of the Reproductive Justice movement and the contributions of Black, brown, and Indigenous women, trans folks, and nonbinary people. Learning about RJ history is especially important as we navigate continuing attacks on abortion, bodily autonomy (of cis and trans people alike), and other oppressive systems.
Knowledge is Power
Our ask this month is to read Undivided Rights: Women of Color Organizing for Reproductive Justice or any book on the reading list. As we continue navigating social and reproductive injustices, we hope that by learning about the history of our movement we will feel hope and guidance to continue our fight!
Our Asks
Here are just a few quick and easy ways to help elevate our efforts in your community:
- Learn about the history of the Reproductive Justice movement as told by Black, brown, Indigenous, queer & trans folks.
- Post a selfie with your RJ book on social media and share one thing you learned using the hashtag #RJReadsWithTEA!
- Host your own book discussions throughout the year with friends, coworkers, or other TEA Fund volunteers!
Our Resources
Use these resources as great starting points for your journey of gaining knowledge on the history of reproductive justice.
Our Tools
Use these tools to strengthen your knowledge of reproductive justice. Help us work towards a more informed community on how to continue the fight for abortion freedom and reproductive justice for everyone.
