The term "reproductive justice" was coined by Black women in 1994 — by Loretta Ross and the founders of SisterSong — to formerly name what white feminism had missed for literal decades. That is, that reproductive freedom is absolutely inseparable from racial justice, from economic justice, and from immigration justice.
The truth is that Black women have been dying from extremely preventable pregnancy complications well before Dobbs. That Indigenous women have had their reproductive autonomy stolen and stripped by federal policy for literal centuries. And that immigrant women have been navigating a "healthcare system" that treats them as suspects first, and never just patients in need of support and care.
The current moment we find ourselves in here in the U.S. is making these truths harder to ignore — yet the truths themselves are not new.
At Northland, we've spent 50 years learning from and being shaped by the patients we serve. That work continues, and we are so grateful to be part of a tradition so much larger than us.
Discreet and judgment-free care is the only kind we know.
If ever, whenever, and for whatever reason, we are here for you.
