PAST EVENTS
Reproductive Rights Storyteller Speak Out
Birth Justice at BRCSJ HQ
Join Planned Parenthood Action Fund of New Jersey & our Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice to change hearts & minds & reduce stigma by talking loudly & proudly about abortion & other reproductive health care experiences.
Each person has their own journey & own story to tell...
A Speak Out is an event where people publicly share their powerful, personal stories about abortion, trans care, reproductive health care access, birth justice, & more to break the silence & stigma surrounding this care & to illustrate the harm of restrictions. Storytelling is a powerful tool because it puts a face & voice to the issues we fight for, humanizes policies & legislation, & motivates our communities to take action to protect & defend our rights.
Whether you shared your story
or was there in support of those who do,
we thank you for bein’ with us in belved community this nite.
