Dána-Ain Davis’s new book Reproductive Injustice: Racism, Pregnancy, and Premature Birth (NYU 2019) is a prescient investigation into the high rates of premature birth among Black women, finding that this problem is not explained by economic factors but ideas about race and reproduction with a deeper historical context rooted in the era of slavery.
A deep study undoing dangerous misconceptions with life or death consequences, this book calls for an end to medical racism. While neonatal intensive care units and life-saving technologies are among the tools that improve outcomes for black women and their babies, Davis argues that other avenues, such as community-based birthing projects, doulas, and midwives, which support women during pregnancy and labor, are just as vital.
Joining Davis will be reproductive justice experts, organizers, and scholars Toni Bond, Cara Page, and Dorothy Roberts.
This event is free and open to the public. RSVP is preferred, not required. Seating is available on a first-come, first-seated basis.
ACCESSIBILITY: ASL interpretation will be available. The venue is mobility accessible.

Dahlia Lithwick (bio), a Canadian-American journalist and Slate editor who has been covering the American Supreme Court for 20 years, will address the attack that has been taking place on women's reproductive rights in legislatures and courts across the land, culminating in President Trump becoming the first American president to attend the March for Life, an annual anti-abortion rally that has been held in DC for the past 47 years to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. To counteract this anti-woman movement, Lithwick will urge American women to engage in “civic visibility": to see and be seen by their representatives, in op-ed columns, and at the ballot box.
Pascale Bernard (bio), Vice President of Community Organizing and Political Affairs for Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, will offer the perspective of a trained social worker and advocate for women’s reproductive health, on Lithwick’s lecture.
The event begins with a half-hour reception (from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.), followed by the lecture and discussion (6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.). Livestream coverage will begin shortly before 6:30 p.m.

Our Repro Rights Community goes to Albany! We’d like to participate in a lobby day this year and we hope you’ll join us. If you’re able to take off work, we’ll figure out transportation together, but we need a head count as early as possible. Be sure to register early (Planned Parenthood may provide transportation): http://bit.ly/36eevqX and let us know you’re coming: http://bit.ly/35gkGcC.
You may have seen the protest action taken on Friday, Jan 10 in front of the courthouse where Harvey Weinstein's trial is taking place, and subsequently on the subway and in front of Trump Tower.
For a little more on the action, it is the Chilean feminist anthem "Un Violador en tu Camino" from the Chilean feminist group LasTesis. We are partnering with other womxn's organizations in New York City to bring this action to the uptown-based (Columbus Circle) Women's March on Saturday, January 18!
A few things to note:
1) To honor LasTesis and the incredible womxn of Chile, this action is for womxn-identifying folx only. We welcome our non-womxn allies to join us for the march following the action!
2) This action is performed in English and Spanish. If you don't speak Spanish it's okay, but we'd love to include as many Spanish speakers as possible!
3) Our goal is to be inclusive to our sisters in the disability community. This action is for you and includes you. Please join us!
4) We will be doing this action BEFORE the march begins. You are not required to march, nor are you required to participate in this action to march with us.
Once you sign up, you'll receive information on the version of the chant we'll be using, videos in order to view and practice the choreography, what we're asking folx to wear, and info on a non-mandatory rehearsal.
Our meeting location for the day of the March is TBD but we will update you ASAP if you sign up to join.
Please let us know you'll be joining us here.
DSA-endorsed Boris Santos is running for the 54th Assembly District. He’s 28, a former teacher, and native Brooklynite ready to take on gentrification and the Albany machine. Let’s knock on doors for the candidate fighting for affordable housing (and us), not New York real estate.
