I don’t even know how to begin organizing my thoughts about attending the Civil Liberties and Public Policy Conference (CLPP) for the first time with OK4RJ. Like Jen, I also attended the Transfeminism and Reproductive Justice panel and am convinced that Katherine Cross is the human incarnation of grace, poise, and general [...]
A few of us from OK4RJ got a great opportunity to travel up to Hampshire College in Amherst, MA for the Civil Liberties and Public Policy Conference (CLPP) this past weekend. There were a variety of panels filled with awesome people (including our favorites, the Dentonites) all meant to share experiences, strategies, and [...]
Are you confused about whether or not to support Margaret Sanger as a feminist hero or distance yourself because of her racist, eugenicist rhetoric? Do you watch loaded Youtube productions without context and you’re not sure how to respond? I don’t promise to give you an answer, but I hope to shed [...]
The reproductive justice framework focuses on the genuine opportunities of women to access reproductive healthcare services. Although this approach necessarily includes organizing against legal restrictions to healthcare access, the chief novelty of reproductive justice is its additional focus on non-legal barriers. Racism, misogyny, homophobia, and any other number of social problems prevent women from utilizing [...]
So, I was having a conversation with a colleague of mine the other day, and they were asking me about my experience blogging for OK4RJ.

It’s been about two weeks since Komen-Gate. If you missed it, here’s a quick recap: The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation (SGK) announced a plan to stop funding Planned Parenthood, realized a few days later that the online and live feminist community knows how to use the internet and make [...]
As winter break comes to an end, so too must my stay in this self-made fantasy world of little to no responsibility (hooray college). Although I feel harshly forced back into a world of working, school, college applications, and campus and local grassroots activism, I am extraordinarily excited for Take Root: Red State [...]
Before I begin writing regularly about reproductive justice and related subjects, I decided that it would be a good idea to contemplate what the reproductive justice framework is really about. I have known for some time about the list of issues and concepts normally included in reproductive justice discussions, but that is not the same [...]
Hey y’all, this is Sandra filling in for Molly while she’s on her whirlwind Midwestern holiday tour of Kansas and Missouri (and most importantly, Trader Joe’s). Miss her too much? Follow her sometimes gluten-free adventures on Twitter.
The controversial veto by the Obama administration that would make Plan B available over-the-counter and would ditch the age [...]
This is a little personal. Until recently I had no idea what the hymen actually was. I thought that it was some barrier or something that was there until it was broken, and then it was gone. I had never really thought about this concept until I found this link on tumblr. My [...]
