This New York Times ad by @BirthEquity featuring Black women repro justice leaders is well-worth your time to read. Thank you for your vision and leadership, @doccrearperry.
Over 30 years ago, 16 Black women courageously led a movement for reproductive freedom with the release and distribution of the seminal brochure We Remember: African American Women for Reproductive Freedom in 1989.
