Today, Dr. Renee and Dr. Cristina close Season 4 of Las Doctoras with a conversation with two special guests!Our first guest is Monica Simpson, queer Black activist, artist, and executive director of SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective. She takes us through her over 20 years of social justice work with a keen focus on sexual reproductive justice.Monica starts all of her training sessions at SisterSong with the line: We all have a story to tell. She firmly believes that stories are our fuel. They provide purpose and motivation to all of our work in social justice, whatever the cause.A group of Black women got together in 1994 to discuss healthcare reform for underrepresented communities, and the term they eventually came up with was reproductive justice, which is defined as “the human rights of bodily autonomy”. It's very much intersectional, and encompasses our right to the children we want in the ways we want, to prevent or end shameful pregnancies and replace them with those of dignity.Community and care are at the heart of the SisterSong movement. Monica talks about their upcoming Let's Talk About Sex Conference in Dallas, Texas, at which the topic of conversation is the blueprint for body revolution. We're all so eager to start revolutionary work from so many different angles. Monica encourages us to slow down because, the truth is, it all starts with our first environment—our own body!Our second guest is Marsha Jones, Founder and Executive Director at The Afiya Center, which was established in response to the increasing disparities between HIV incidences worldwide and the extraordinary prevalence of HIV among Black women and girls in Texas. TAC is unique in that it is the only Reproductive Justice (RJ) organization in North Texas founded and directed by Black women.Having grown up in an old-school religious environment, Marsha had a lot of paradigms to shift when she came into her work. Her first step as she entered this fight concerning HIV was to center her work around social justice and human rights. She learned that, “It is these systems of oppression that drive HIV among Black women, not who we have sex with and how.”Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, Marsha's biggest fear is twofold: 1) When you start using language that is criminalizing in any way with people who are closer to the criminal justice system, there will be health and economic impacts; 2) A lack of resources for women who have experienced violent rape and have few or no options now that they are pregnant.Voting is important, but it's not the only thing we can (or should) do. We need more people to talk about this crucial issue, and to look at it from a reproductive lens to tell the entire story—the entire experience. Aside from the obvious health challenges faced by women with unwanted pregnancies, there are dangers of them losing their jobs or even their homes, especially if they live in an abusive household.There are so many layers to this issue. Reproductive justice allows us to talk about factors which go beyond abortion. It is important, but is just one of many other pieces of the puzzle of reproductive justice!Connect with Monica Simpson:Visit the SisterSong website: www.sistersong.netJoin us at the upcoming Let's Talk About Sex Conference: www.letstalkaboutsexconference.comFollow Monica on Instagram: www.instagram.com/artivistmonicarayeConnect with Marsha Jones:Visit The Afiya Center website: www.theafiyacenter.orgFollow The Afiya Center on Instagram: www.instagram.com/theafiyacenterConnect with Las Doctoras:Visit their website: www.lasdoctoras.net Follow them on Instagram: www.instagram.com/las.doctoras

It has been a difficult and heavy couple of months. With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many women, especially Black women, are left feeling scared, worried, and unheard. Judge Shermela Williams and Monica Simpson join the Monuments to Me podcast to help make sense of it all. Judge Shermela Williams was elected to be superior court judge in 2021, making her a part of a small rare club of Black female judges. Prior to her election, she was a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. Monica Simpson is a dynamic, queer, Black woman from North Carolina. She is the executive director of Sister Song, a Southern-based, women of color reproductive justice collective. Monica has dedicated her life and career to activism, working in multiple areas from the prison industry, violence against Black women, and LGBTQ+ issues. In this conversation, Monica and Judge Shermela break down how we got to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 so that we can better understand how and why this happened. Then, they share why it's important to understand how this ruling doesn't just affect Black women, but Black women of a certain socioeconomic status and what this means for them. The issue of white supremacy is also discussed as it is deeply interlaced with this ruling. Finally, Judge Shermela and Monica share how they're taking care of their mental health and well-being since their line of work is incredibly taxing and heavy. This episode is a must-listen for women everywhere as we try our best to move forward and create a truly accessible society where all women have the basic right of bodily autonomy.

Honored, thrilled, over the moon, and beyond excited are a few of the phrases we'd use to describe how we felt going into this interview and how we feel releasing it. We had the pleasure of sitting down virtually with the incredible Monica Simpson, who is the Executive Director of SisterSong. In our conversation, we chatted about SisterSong, the work they do as a coalition, and two key topics – reproductive justice and birth justice. Through our conversation we talk about what each is, how they intersect, and how these movements not only came about but continue to be relevant (even more so) in a post-Roe world. We also discuss the overwhelmingly disproportionate impact that the overturning of Roe has on BIPOC people, and the long ignored issue of access (just because something's legal, doesn't mean all people have access to it).

It's Black History Month, and we're also in what may quite possibly the last few months of Roe v. Wade's existence as we know it. So it seems an important time to talk about what exactly Reproductive Justice means, the history of this Black women-led movement, and why it's so very important.  Joining the podcast is Monica Simpson, Executive Director of *the* organization for the Repro Justice (RJ) movement, SisterSong. Monica explains what RJ is; its history and founding by Black women; how we do everyone a disservice if we shy away from talking about sex when we talk about reproductive justice; and why Black people and other historically marginalized groups are disproportionately impacted by restrictions on reproductive health. Further, as we discuss what may be Roe's final moments, we discuss what Roe meant and means to the Black community, how SisterSong preparing for what may be the end of Roe in June 2022, and how YOU can help.

Racism manifests in different ways for different people in different environments.For many Black women, experiences with sexual and reproductive health reveal cross-cutting themes of racism, sexism, and classism, all expressed in the context of strong social norms and prejudices regarding Black women and reproduction. Attention to poor health outcomes for Black women has grown recently in part due to stories of negative maternity experiences of prominent Black women, such as Serena Williams. Congress has gotten into the act as well and taken steps to address the crisis of high rates of maternal mortality among Black women. But what are the individual experiences behind this crisis?Monica Simpson, executive director of Sister Song, joins A Health Podyssey to discuss a paper her and coauthors published in the February 2022 issue of Health Affairs, an issue devoted entirely to the topic of racism and health. They examined the reproductive health experiences of Black women in the South.They found that Black women's experiences navigating sexual and reproductive care were informed by both structural and individual racism, often leading to poorer quality care and likely worst health outcomes.If you enjoy this interview, order the February 2022 Health Affairs Racism & Health theme issue.Listen to Health Affairs Pathways.Subscribe: RSS | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Google Podcasts

A conversation with leading Atlanta-based organizers about the deep, intersectional, and transformative struggle for Black liberation. ---------------------------------------------------- Much of the ‘back of the house' organizing that has made the current rebellion and political moment possible goes unseen. So often images of protestors in the streets capture our collective attention and imagination. People often think that protests and marches define organizing. However, so much of what Black organizers do involves more mundane and less sexy work like: mutual aid, transformative justice, fundraising for bail, working to fight evictions, healing and carework. This work helps lay the groundwork for getting people to imagine the abolition of policing and other violent systems in order to build support networks (and worlds) that don't rely on the logics of anti-Blackness. This behind the scenes work is also gendered, racialized, and classed labor that many Black queer, trans, non-binary, and disabled femmes perform. Why is this organizing work important? How is it beautiful/artful? How do we elevate/celebrate it? How do we invite people into this beautiful work? Speakers: Mary Hooks is the co-director of Southerners on New Ground (SONG). SONG is a political home for LGBTQ liberation across all lines of race, class, abilities, age, culture, gender, and sexuality in the South. We build, sustain, and connect a southern regional base of LGBTQ people in order to transform the region through strategic projects and campaigns developed in response to the current conditions in our communities. SONG builds this movement through leadership development, coalition and alliance building, intersectional analysis, and organizing. Mary's commitment to Black liberation, which encompasses the liberation of LGBTQ folks, is rooted in her experiences growing up under the impacts of the War on Drugs. Her people are migrants of the Great Migration, factory workers, church folks, Black women, hustlers and addicts, dykes, studs, femmes, queens and all people fighting for the liberation of oppressed people. Monica Simpson is the Executive Director of SisterSong, the National Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective. She uses an interdisciplinary approach to activism by calling her artistic and healing practices into the implementation of SisterSong's mission. Based in the historic West End in Atlanta, GA and founded in 1997, SisterSong amplifies and strengthens the collective voices of Indigenous women and women of color and ensures reproductive justice through securing human rights. SisterSong's headquarters is known as the “MotherHouse” and is a national organizing center for feminists of color. Toni-Michelle Williams is a community organizer and advocate for black trans justice and liberation. She serves as the Leadership Development and Programs Coordinator for the Solutions NOT Punishment Coalition (SNaP Co) in Atlanta, GA. With SnaP Co she successfully launched the Trans Leadership Connection internship program (TLC) in 2015. In 2016, the program released “The Most Dangerous Thing Out Here is the Police,” a report on trans people's experiences with Atlanta Police Department. Tiffany Lethabo King is an associate professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Georgia State University. She is the author of The Black Shoals: Offshore Formations of Black and Native Studies (Duke University Press, 2019) and a co-editor of the book Otherwise Worlds: Against Settler Colonialism and Anti-Black Racism (Duke University Press, 2020). ---------------------------------------------------- Co-sponsored by Haymarket Books: https://www.haymarketbooks.org Sister Song: https://www.sistersong.net/ Southerns on New Ground: https://southernersonnewground.org Watch the live event recording: Buy books from Haymarket: www.haymarketbooks.org Follow us on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/haymarketbooks

A PILL FOR ABORTION LANDS WOMAN IN JAIL FOR MURDER   A Georgia woman took pills to end her pregnancy and the prosecutor charged her with murder. Huh? The 23-year old bought the pills on line that caused her to go into labor. She delivered the non-viable fetus on the way to a hospital. So what are these pills? Can anyone get them?
