Story (english)
Wash away the shame, guilt, disgust, unknown, discomfort of how my body feels, looks, and functions. Shame that it “attracts” unwanted attention (sway of my hips, curves, breasts, etc.) and un-acceptance at times. Guilt about enjoying, relishing, expressing, highlighting, trashing, ignoring (neglecting) and abusing my body. Disgust about how it feels, looks, and what it elicits from others (men). Not taking the time to get to know, experience, appreciate, and celebrate my body, its smell, its look, its taste…Discomfort of being with my body in tune with, highlighting, celebrating, sharing my body.
Replace it with comfort, love, acceptance, celebration, discovery, attention, and knowledge of my body and all the beauty it holds.
![🚨 BREAKING: POLICY UPDATE 🚨
We’re thrilled to announce that yesterday, our co-sponsored bill AB2586 (Garcia) Reproductive Justice and Freedom Fund passed out of the First House! 🎉
BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities continue to face higher rates of sexual & reproductive health inequities across California. #AB2586 employs long term & immediate strategies that center the needs of those most impacted in our communities. Investing in building safe and healthy communities where people are all able to access the healthcare services that they need without any barriers to access is Reproductive Justice. Stay tuned as our other co-sponsored bill AB2223 (Wicks) Decriminalization of Abortion and Pregnancy Loss moves through the first house this week!
We must continue to support and fight for our collective right to bodily autonomy, the ability to decide if and when to parent, and for our familias right to live with dignity and respect in safe and healthy communities!
