Today on Indigenous Peoples Day we call on non-Bla

Today on Indigenous Peoples Day we call on non-Black and non-Indigenous Latinos/es to commit to actively dismantling deep rooted colonial legacies of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism and oppression. We call for all non-Black and non-Indigenous Latino/e policymakers to end complicity in upholding white supremacy and inciting hatred towards Black and Indigenous communities. It is time for Latino/e policymakers to be held accountable, take responsibility, and to actively work to dismantle systems of oppression.

As a Latina/e led Reproductive Justice organization based in Los Angeles we are enraged and disgusted by the racist conversation between Los Angeles Latino City Council members Nury Martínez, Gil Cedillo, Kevin de León and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera. Their words clearly show their anti-Indigeneous and anti-Black racism and disdain for working class and poor people. As a Latina/e led Reproductive Justice organization based in Los Angeles we call for the immediate resignation of all the aforementioned Latino leaders. This is not the kind of leadership our city nor our communities want, need, or deserve.

As a Reproductive Justice organization committed to centering the experiences of those most impacted by structural oppression, we re-commit to addressing, centering, and fighting anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism in our communities and to reckon with our own complicity in the continued harm and erasure of Black and Indigenous communities. We must do better.

This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 🦋

Our ability to access quality healthcare, stable housing, food security, and safe, non-carceral mental and physical healthcare services all directly impact the mental health and wellbeing of our communities. Our collective freedom and survival rests not only on our ability to practice care for ourselves and each other, but also on our willingness to fight for a future where everyone can easily access all of the resources they need to live full and dignified lives.

Reproductive Justice means working to end the stigma around mental health and breaking down barriers to access to the care we need. 🌻

Help protect the #LGBTQIA+ community from discrimi

Help protect the #LGBTQIA+ community from discrimination in healthcare by telling the Biden Administration why section 1557 is important to you.

The Biden-Harris Administration recently proposed a new rule to implement section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act – draft regulations that will protect all #LGBTQIA+ people from discrimination in healthcare. Now we need YOUR HELP to get these important changes implemented.

Visit www.nclrights.org/1557 to find out more about how you can support LGBTQIA+ access to safe, quality healthcare free from discrimination and submit your comment in support of strengthening protections for the LGBTQIA+ community TODAY!

Ensuring that everyone has access to quality healthcare free from barriers, stigma, and discrimination is Reproductive Justice!

Today, September 28 is #InternationalSafeAbortionD

Today, September 28 is #InternationalSafeAbortionDay! ✨

This Day of Action for Access to Safe and Legal Abortion has its origin in Latin America and the Caribbean where organizers have been mobilizing around September 28 since the 1990s to demand their governments to decriminalize abortion, to provide access to safe and affordable abortion services, and to end stigma and discrimination towards people who choose to have an abortion.

Removing unnecessary policy and societal barriers to safe abortion protects people’s lives, health, and human rights by allowing people to access timely, life-saving care. Abortion is essential, normal, and common healthcare and access to safe, legal, and stigma-free abortion care should be available for all who need it!

Today and everyday, we stand in solidarity and acompañamiento with people across the globe fighting for our right to bodily autonomy. Take action this #SafeAbortionDay and speak out for access to safe and legal abortions by:
💚 Share accurate resources for those seeking abortion care. If you need an abortion visit @ineedanacom. For confidential, free legal advice, check out @reprolegaldefensefund @ifwhenhow.
💚 Identify, question, confront and reject the multiple stigmatizing ideas and messages about abortion that we learned growing up in repressive anti-choice societies.
💚 Protect your digital privacy and combat the spread of misinformation! Check out https://digitaldefensefund.org/ddf-guides/abortion-privacy to learn more about digital security surrounding abortion.

Dismantling negative stigmas and misinformation surrounding abortion and demanding safe, accessible, and legal abortion access worldwide IS Reproductive Justice!

🚨 BREAKING: POLICY UPDATE 🚨 We’re thrill

🚨 BREAKING: POLICY UPDATE 🚨

We’re thrilled to announce that @CAGovernor just signed two of our co-sponsored bills AB2223 (Wicks) Decriminalization of Abortion and Pregnancy Loss and AB2586 (Garcia) Reproductive Justice and Freedom Fund into law! 🎉

AB2586 (Garcia /Rivas) Reproductive Justice and Freedom Fund bill, and companion $15 million budget request, seeks to address and eliminate reproductive and sexual health inequities by developing responsive policy recommendations centered in a Reproductive Justice Framework. BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities continue to face higher rates of sexual & reproductive health inequities across California, which #AB2586 addresses by employing long term & immediate strategies that center the needs of those most impacted in our communities.

Investigation and prosecution for ending a pregnancy or experiencing pregnancy loss harms a person’s health and livelihood and disproportionately impacts those already targeted for surveillance & criminalization, including BIPOC; immigrants, LGTBQ+ ppl; young ppl; & low income folks. AB2223 (Wicks) Decriminalization of Abortion and Pregnancy Loss will ensure that no one in the State of California will be investigated for ending a pregnancy or experiencing pregnancy loss.

Thank you to our amazing partners, community members, supporters, and legislators who made this victory possible and continue to invest in building safe and healthy communities where people are all able to access the healthcare services that they need without fear or retribution!

Say it with us: Deciding when, if, and how to start a family is Reproductive Justice!

This #WorldContraceptionDay, we’re calling atten

This #WorldContraceptionDay, we’re calling attention to the barriers to accessing birth control pills and the need for over-the-counter options because ALL people should have the resources they need to plan their futures, including access to the birth control method of their choice, free from barriers or stigma! 💯

Research shows that requiring a prescription makes it harder to obtain and consistently use birth control pills. It's a barrier no one should have to deal with. Over-the-counter birth control pills would give people greater access to the tools they need to take care of their own health. Birth control pills are an essential part of health care and health care is a human right. It’s time to make birth control pills over the counter in the US, fully covered by insurance, & accessible to people of all ages!

Expanding contraceptive options & improving equitable access to the full range of sexual & repro health is critical to the fight for Reproductive Justice! 🌟
