This event is hosted by Center on Reproductive Rights and Justice.

Please join the Center on Reproductive Rights and Justice for a thought‑provoking discussion with The Labors of Resurrection author Prof. Shatema Threadcraft, in conversation with Prof. Khiara M. Bridges.

Black women face a devastating crisis of premature death: though they are about 10% of the femme population, they represent the vast majority of women murdered in the U.S., often through intimate partner violence understood as femicide. This crisis is deeply intertwined with the Black maternal health crisis, where Black women are more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum year, and murder is the leading cause of death for pregnant women in the US.

This conversation will examine Black femicide as a challenge at the intersection of anti‑violence work and birth justice organizing.
