HOUSING JUSTICE IS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE! From @n

HOUSING JUSTICE IS REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE!

From @newrepublic & @BryceCovert
“Why landlords target mothers for eviction. Mothers are being evicted far more frequently than other Americans…”

“Even before the pandemic, her $2,000 income from her job and $455 in child support barely stretched to cover her $1,500 rent and other necessities. There were times she couldn’t afford sanitary napkins, forcing her and her daughter to use socks. But she managed to make ends meet. “I always put food on the table for my kids,” she said. “They might not have what they want, but they have what they need.”

After Mendoza lost her job, she couldn’t afford both rent and the internet her children needed to attend school, and her landlord wanted her out. In September, the property was sold to a new owner, who sent Mendoza a letter saying she, too, was a single mother. But in a paragraph at the bottom, the new landlord informed Mendoza she would have to vacate in 60 days. She was shocked. “I have a governor who’s telling me to shelter in place, but I have this landlord who’s telling me to get the hell out,” Mendoza said."

Recently California became the 3rd state in the nation to provide monetary compensation to survivors who were sterilized under its state Eugenics Law (1909 - 1979) and the 1st state to provide notification of coerced sterilization and reparations to survivors of sterilization while incarcerated. This recent victory is but one small step in the fight to end the continual and ever changing ways eugenics continues to influence who is deemed fit to reproduce or make decisions over our own bodies. #ThisIsRJ #AB1007 #ReproJustice

Thank you to CSPG for releasing this image in celebration of California's decision to #EndEugenicsLegacy!

On July 12, Governor Gavin Newsom approved the $7.

On July 12, Governor Gavin Newsom approved the $7.5 million budget request to provide reparations to survivors of state sponsored forced or involuntary sterilizations under California’s eugenics laws from 1909-1979 and survivors of involuntary sterilizations in women’s state prisons after 1979.

🎉In celebration of this long awaited victory, @bellyofthebeastfilm, a powerful documentary about the history of state-sanctioned forced sterilizations in California, is now streaming for free until the end of the month! You can view the film using the link in our bio. Thank you BOTB team for all your support and and groundbreaking work in shedding light on this important issue!

[ID: bold red text on a solid gray background reads, “Belly of the Beast.” There is a person’s silhouette in red in the middle of the image with gray scissors covering their mouth. The silhouette is broken up by four straight lines. In the upper left corner, there is darker gray text that says, “original motion picture soundtrack available now from lakeshore records music by Omar Fadel”]

🚨 Breaking News: Last night, after 4 years, Governor Gavin Newsom signed our co-sponsored $7.5 million budget request to provide reparations to survivors of state sponsored forced or involuntary sterilizations under California’s eugenics laws from 1909-1979 and survivors of involuntary sterilizations in women’s state prisons after 1979!

The victory of this budget request is an important step for California in confronting its shameful history and taking a bold stand against the racist, sexist, and ableist practices that perpetuate health inequities to this day.

We will continue to fight to end the legacy of eugenics, in all its forms.

After 4 long years and decades of work by allies and supporters, California is taking a step forward to end the legacy of it's eugenics program and begin ending the racist, sexist, and ableist practices that perpetuate health inequities to this day. We are just waiting on Governor Newsom’s signature!

"We must address and face our horrific history,” said Lorena Garcia Zermeño, policy and communications coordinator for the advocacy group California Latinas for Reproductive Justice. “This isn’t something that just happened in the past.” #ThisIsRJ #ReproJustice #EndEugenicsLegacy
