Latinas for Reproductive Justice (Latinas4RJ)
Latinas4RJ (L4RJ) leadership chapters reflect CLRJ’s commitment to developing Latina/x leaders from various backgrounds and experiences. The goal of the L4RJ chapters is to build the next generation of Latina/x RJ Leaders in California who are passionate about advocating with, by, and for their own communities. The leadership chapters are open to all non-binary, womxn-identified, gender non-conforming, trans, genderqueer, and cisgender Latinas/xs ages 18-35 years old of all backgrounds.
Here’s what past and current Latinas4RJ Leaders have said about their experiences
So grateful to be in the presence of these badass latinas that are committed to improve our communities. We are those bad mujeres they warned you about.
They’ve taught me so much about organizing, community education, and policy advocacy through a reproductive justice lens AND [I] have made hella dope friendships [through L4RJ]. I hold our monthly meetings close to my heart. Equal parts chisme, self-care, and organizing keeps us strong.
