Reproductive Justice

Listen to Black Women Share About Our Reproductive Health

California Black Women's Health Project, in collaboration with the Black Women’s Health Imperative, is providing a platform for Black women to share their personal reproductive health stories, hear and learn from each other, and create a new and powerful narrative for policy changes that move the needle toward achieving improved sexual and reproductive health outcomes for Black women.

Reproductive Health Collaborations

The California Black Women's Health Project is a founding member of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective, which is made up of 76 local, regional and national grassroots organizations and more than 400 individuals, as well as white and male allies who support our goal of improving the lives of women of color and indigenous women in the United States through Reproductive Justice.

The California Black Women's Health Project is a coalition member of the Reproductive Justice Coalition of Los Angeles, which supports women's right to have all the necessary information and resources to make the best decisions for themselves and their family. Since many factors determine a woman’s ability to exercise her reproductive rights – including race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, class, immigration status and disability – RJCLA takes an inclusive approach to all factors affect a woman’s reproductive freedom

The California Black Women's Health Project is a stakeholder of the Sexual Health Education Roundtable, along with the ACLU of Northern California and Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. This coalition brings together community-based organizations, researchers, policy advocates and educators with the goal of sharing information and promoting comprehensive sexuality education for youth. By joining the voice of grassroots and local efforts, research and organizations working together to call for improved programs and policies at the state and national levels, the Sexual Health Education Roundtable has become an influential advocate for the quality sex education our youth need and deserve.
