If anything, this class has inspired me to be more active in reproductive justice activism.

During this class, I have thought about how I could make this a career and what type of clubs
and organizations I can join now on campus. Before this class, I was already an involved
member with UC Feminist. Now I am trying to get involved with as many feminist or reproductive
justice groups as possible. I have joined URGE(Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity), the
1 in 3 campaign(campaign against negative stigma of abortion), and Students for
Survivors(students that encourage sexual assault survivors). Both campaigns are very involved
on campus and I hope this will be the start of my activism career in Reproductive justice.
This class has taught me so much on topics that I didn't know existed in reproductive
justice like how different race and ethnic groups have different agendas on their own
reproductive health. The book, U
ndivided

Rights, has shown me that every race and minority is

not fully represented in Reproductive Justice. For example, Native American women need more
resources to prevent substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and bringing back natural birthing practices
like midwifery. Asian and Pacific Islander women need more resources in family planning,
overcoming stereotypes, overcoming oppressive immigration laws, and better health care.
All women of all different minorities need to be represented in some way. Reproductive
Justice was starting to be taken over by a white/caucasian majority and the reproductive justice
movement does not purely represent just white people. In fact, I think minority groups need the
reproductive justice movement more than the white population because minorities are more
likely to not have adequate access to health care and are more likely to be in poverty like
conditions. I think different organizations representing each minority group is the best way to
tackle this problem in Reproductive Justice.

Undivided Rights has shown me as a white, educated, straight woman is to be aware

and to always include different perspectives, and to try to set aside stereotypes of different
minority groups. The reproductive Justice movement is mainly geared towards women. If all
women are not contributing to the same fight then we will lose to gain the reproductive and
social upgrades we need to raise good families and to be equal to men. Now, some groups may
have different opinions on different issues, but everyone women, no matter what their race or
ethnicity, should have the choice to do what they believe is right with their body.
Some topics that I think the class could cover would be how to provide solutions to birth
trauma and reproductive justice organizations and the history of troubles of the LGBTQ+
community. I would be interested in learning more about what resources the LGBTQ+
community has and how they fit into the reproductive movement like how different racial and
ethnic minority groups do. I would also be interested in what type of careers we could go into in
order to make a difference in the Reproductive Justice movement.
