In the 1990s, activist and scholar Loretta Ross co-created the term “reproductive justice” and went on to co-found an organization—SisterSong— dedicated to its realization. For decades, Professor Ross has been a leading champion of the core principles of reproductive justice—the right not to have a child, the right to have a child, and the right to parent children in safe and healthy environments.

Join Professor Ross for a wide-ranging conversation with Professor Kenji Yoshino, Director of the Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, about reproductive justice in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What are the biggest challenges of this moment? What are the opportunities? And how can supporters of reproductive justice make progress in this daunting legal and political environment?

This event is part of the Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging speaker series and is cosponsored by the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network and the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law.
