SUMMARY:Disability Justice Grounded Birthwork: Virtual Series
DESCRIPTION:Disability Justice Grounded Birthwork – Starting Friday March 20th\, 2026\, 12 – 2:30pm CST via Zoom \nis a:\n12 week series (10 weeks of content; 2 weeks of community building) on the intersections of Disability Justice and Reproductive Justice. We will immerse ourselves in the origins of eugenics and how it has shaped the medical industrial complex and policing we see today. Then we will ground in how the MIC and policing have shaped and sustain the current ableist and hostile state of reproductive care and anti-bodily autonomy. We will take considerable time centering the most and multi marginalized folks navigating these systems and communities. We will round this experience out with how to do this work mindfully\, equitably and sustainably\, while centering care. \nThis is for: All birthworkers\, doulas\, birthkeepers and folks who do reproductive care and support. Abortion\, Birth\, Fertility\, Grief & Loss\, Postpartum and more.
