| 10:15 – 11:15 AM | Charting New Paths: Building a Brighter and Bolder Reproductive Justice Movement For decades, Black women, femmes, girls, and gender-expansive people have been at the forefront of social justice movements, particularly the Reproductive Justice movement, protesting and demanding justice and equality. With many movements gaining traction through online activism it is imperative that we continue the fight towards elevating the RJ movement through new means. This session seeks to unveil what it means to chart new paths toward reproductive liberation in the digital era by leveraging social media. We will discuss how to galvanize youth advocates interested in learning how to amplify online mobilization efforts to build a bolder and brighter Reproductive Justice movement that will transform our world. | Giovanteey (she/her/hers) |
