Happy Juneteenth from PPGNY! As sexual and reproductive advocates, understanding Juneteenth is essential to our work. The Repro Justice movement was born in response to disparities in sexual and reproductive health and maternal outcomes that disproportionately harm intersecting Black, q***r, and disabled communities — denying many the freedom to have children, not have children, raise families in safe and sustainable communities, and exercise bodily autonomy under systemic oppressions. These injustices, past and present, remind us of our commitment to protect and advance the rights and dignity of our most marginalized patients and community members.
As we center Black joy, resilience, and healing in celebration of Juneteenth, we honor its history and remain committed to our equity work -- check out the link in our bio to learn more.
