Abolishing the Family Policing System: A Reproductive Justice Imperative

This teach-in was hosted by Center for Reproductive Rights and Justice at UCBerkeley, If/When/How, Movement for Family Power, and Elephant Circle. 

In November 2024, Center for Reproductive Rights and Justice at UCBerkeley, If/When/How, and Movement for Family Power convened the Breaking Silos in Reproductive Justice: Building Solidarity to End Family Policing symposium to interrogate the family policing system as a reproductive injustice. Then, we continued the work with a 5-part virtual teach-in series in collaboration with Elephant Circle. 

Listen in to part one: Abolishing the Family Policing System: A Reproductive Justice Imperative. Our panelists identified that Reproductive Justice has always demanded a world where all people have a right to have children & parent those children in safe communities–but the mainstream reproductive rights movement has historically failed to prioritize resisting family policing. Thank you to everyone who joined us to advance our work toward a comprehensive vision of reproductive justice.
