SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective
The mission of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective is to strengthen and amplify the collective voices of indigenous women and women of color so that they may secure human rights, and thus achieve reproductive justice. They fight equally for the right to bear - or not to bear - a child, along with the subsequent and necessary enabling conditions to realize these rights.
SisterSong represents five ethnic populations/indigenous nations in the U.S.: Native American/Indigenous; Asian/Pacific Islander; Arab American/Middle Eastern/North African; Latina; and African American/Black/Caribbean/African. The Collective has 80+ women of color member organizations and individuals, and hundreds of white women and male allies who support our goal of improving the lives of women of color.
Project
USHRF supports SisterSong's "Reproductive Justice Training Program." Through its RJ101 training sessions, SisterSong trains advocates on the fundamentals of the reproductive justice frame and its basis as a human rights approach. The organization will also design and carry out Reproductive Justice 102 trainings, which will focus on how to build organizational infrastructure, and awareness and understanding amongst staff and boards wishing to reorganize as reproductive justice organizations.
Finally, SisterSong will develop a "RJ in a Box" toolkit, including tangible products specifically tailored to RJ work, including: fundraising, organizing and campaigning, and training.
