Woman of Color Reproductive Justice Collective
About us
The mission of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective is to amplify and strengthen the collective voices of Indigenous women and women of color to ensure reproductive justice through securing human rights. SisterSong is comprised of 80 local, regional and national grassroots organizations in the United States representing five primary ethnic populations/indigenous nations in the United States: Native American/Indigenous, Black/African American, Latina/Puerto Rican, Arab American/Middle Eastern, and Asian/Pacific Islander, as well as white allies and men. The Collective was formed in 1997 to fulfill a need for a national movement by women of color to organize our voices to represent ourselves and our communities. SisterSong educates women of color on Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights, and works towards the access of health services, information and resources that are culturally and linguistically appropriate through the integration of the disciplines of community organizing, Self-Help and human rights education.

Fifty-one years ago, Roe v. Wade affirmed the right to abortion—a victory that changed the landscape of reproductive rights. But for Black women, Roe was the floor, not the ceiling. Despite the rights Roe safeguarded, many Black and brown women were denied access to the reproductive care we deserved due to reproductive care deserts or economic barriers to care. The dismantling of #Roe exacerbated existing barriers to care and opened the door for 26 states to restrict or even criminalize abortion care. We know we need to restore the right to abortion, but what we need to build back must go further than #Roe to ensure everyone can make decisions for themselves, free from barriers and oppression. This fight is far from over. 💻 Visit the link in our bio to learn how you can take action and protect reproductive justice for generations to come.

Ironically, some of those in power who celebrate the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy would have opposed his acts of resistance. Despite some revisionist and whitewashed history, we know the truth. Dr. King was a fierce advocate for justice and stood firmly in the face of white supremacy. He understood how systems of oppression serve each other, whether the military-industrial complex, segregation or capitalism. Dr. King’s ability to foster community and collective action laid the foundation to shift policies and culture. Today, Reproductive Justice as a movement is rooted in recognizing the interconnectedness of our lives and that our fight for liberation depends on each other. As we continue to fight against white supremacy in all of its forms, we must hold close to the lessons of our ancestors, such as Dr. King. #MLKDay #ReproductiveJustice #TrustBlackWomen

Peace Everyone, I hope that you are all well and taking the time to breathe in the midst of all we are navigating. I am sure we are all aware of the tragic deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller in GA that were reported to be preventable and directly linked to the 6-week abortion ban we have been fighting. Today, SisterSong is activating our Trust Black Women partners and creating an opportunity for Black women leaders, organizers, and Black-led orgs to join the Reproductive Justice movement to demand accountability for the Black women who lost their lives so senselessly. We are holding a Trust Black Women Mass Mobilization call today Thursday, September 19th at 3:00 pm EST. We are also planning an action to take place on Sept. 28th in Atlanta. Our GA State Coordinator, Danielle, is taking point on this and will have more information on how to get plugged in on the call. Deep appreciation to Black Feminist Future who is also taking point on building an altar for the action. It takes a village, good people. Please spread the word far and wide with your networks. I believe multiple emails are ok at this moment. You will find the RSVP link below. The Zoom link will be sent to the final vetted list by 1 pm today. Monica Raye Simpson Executive Director SisterSong - The National Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective

Today we’re highlighting one of our Black Birthing Bill of Rights®: I see me in my provider. Culturally congruent care matters for Black people. Black providers who have similar cultural experiences may be better able to understand the impacts of racism. This shared lived experience can also serve to build trust between a person and their provider, ultimately improving care. Currently, there is a shortage of Black health care professionals. For example, despite a long history of midwifery in the Black community, less than 2% of the nation’s reported 15,000 midwives are Black. We need more midwives, physicians, and health care providers who understand our experiences as Black people. Learn more about this Black Birthing Bill of Right®, view resources and download this tool now at the link in bio! #NAABB #BlackBirthingBillOfRights #BBBOR #BlackBirthJustice #ReproductiveJustice #BirthAdvocacy
