This week Ashley, Elijah and Ryan talk with Loretta Ross, co-founder of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective and served as its National Coordinator from 2005–2012. Loretta’s work helps define reproductive justice as a framework created by activist women of color to address how race, gender, class, ability, nationality, and sexuality intersect. As a concept, reproductive justice was created by these women because they felt that the dominant paradigms of "pro-choice" or "pro-life" did not address their lived realities. In short, they were unable to exercise reproductive choices as easily as their more privileged counterparts. For them, reproductive politics was not about choice, but about justice. Join us as we talk with Loretta about her life, her work, and her approach to activism. ———————————— Show Notes: We got a live event coming up: July 27, 9am-12pm: Dallas Series Live 2019: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wtd-dallas-series-live-join-us-on-the-journey-tickets-62450569334 Loretta Ross - https://www.lorettaross.com SisterSong - https://www.sistersong.net Reproductive Justice - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0520288203 Radical Reproductive Justice - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1558614370/ ———————————— If you wanna get at us (and we know you do) you got options: Support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/wetalkdifferent Email: holla@wetalkdifferent.com Facebook: facebook.com/wetalkdifferent Twitter: twitter.com/wetalkdifferent Instagram: instagram.com/wetalkdifferent/ Website: wetalkdifferent.com You can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, SoundCloud, or Stitcher so you'll never miss an episode!
