The Pro-Choice Public Education Project
PEP is pleased to present the results of their newest research, On Our Terms: Young Women of Color, Reproductive Justice, and Activism. In 2004 PEP released She Speaks, a groundbreaking report that highlighted the experiences of young African American and Latino women around their reproductive health and rights. Earlier this year, PEP commissioned Lake Research Partners to ask young Latina, African American, and Asian Pacific-Islander women around the country how they are taking care of themselves, how we can provide them with better resources to do so, and what they are doing to advocate for their own sexual and reproductive health and rights.
On Our Terms builds on the success of She Speaks and the continued uphill struggle young women of color face in achieving reproductive autonomy. During the presentation, we will share the research findings and strategize on how to engage young women of color in the reproductive justice movement.
The Wanderlust Bike Tour
This summer, a group of 20 women are traveling from New Orleans to New York City on a reproductive justice bike tour. In solidarity with local activists and rooted in the belief that sharing stories is a powerful way to elevate awareness and create social change, we'll be pedaling from town to town to listen to your stories and document how you and others are working to expand access to reproductive health care, defend reproductive rights, and promote reproductive justice.
It's a story collective - it's a bicycle caravan - it's building the movement for reproductive justice!
The goals of the trip are to document the inspirational, groundbreaking work happening across the country and build horizontal networks to strengthen our collective movement for reproductive health, rights, and justice.
