Join the National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice in saying:
No retreat! Build a militant intersectional movement!
From the U.S. to Iran to Latin America, women are shouting “ENOUGH” to repressive policies and the violation of our bodily autonomy. Relying on politicians and professional experts to protect our rights will always fall short of liberation. The power to create change resides in collective grassroots action. This fight is about abortion rights, yes, but reproductive justice and the issues of our time demand more! #MyDecisionAlone
