Operating since 2022 this multidisciplinary group works to create a space where researchers at 51ÁÔÆæ and reproductive justice community advocates in Milwaukee can work together to address systemic injustices disproportionately affecting Black, Latinx, and other women and trans people of color. As a collective, we have held a variety of events in both academic and community spaces, and seek to continue this important work in the face of uncertainty in the reproductive justice space. We work across various aspects of reproductive injustices, including issues of access across zip codes, early childhood education, birth justice, and physical environment \u2014 to name just a few. We have learned alongside our community partners how important it is to not silo this work, and aim to continue bringing attention to reproductive injustices in Milwaukee and act as a resource for making substantial changes to improve the conditions within which individuals can exercise their \u201chuman right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities\u201d (SisterSong).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We welcome inquiries for anyone who would like to learn more about this group and possibly become a university or community member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
