Ep. 3 The Healing Work of Reproductive Justice

March 20, 2023 • Season 1 • Episode 3

Charity Woods Barnes—founder of the Reproductive Justice Resilience Project—re-centers women of color as fundamental in building a movement for reproductive justice that champions abortion rights yet goes beyond the abortion legality framework upended by Dobbs v. Jackson. Consequently, reproductive justice and resiliency are shown to go hand in hand among Black women, leading Barnes to call for balancing stories of oppression with stories of Black women’s strength. In this episode, she helps listeners to rethink advocacy for reproductive justice as a wholistic project, demanding one to both have and live out reproductive justice principles for the purpose of communal healing.
