The increased attention to state-sanctioned violence calls for all RJ advocates to mobilize around voices that are historically ignored and overshadowed.

To get your org involved with #CareNotCages today, email [email protected].
Poster for the campaign "Care Not Cages!". A subheader states: A new Reproductive Justice campaign to care for the incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, and their families This slide reads: As the country continues to criminalize pregnancy outcomes, it’s clear that pregnancy today could become imprisonment tomorrow. Increased ICE presence is creating fear that keeps people from attending essential healthcare appointments, including prenatal care, putting pregnant people and families at greater risk. So who’s fighting for those most deeply impacted by the system? RJ calls on us to recognize the importance of bodily autonomy and the right to raise children in safe and sustainable environments. That feels impossible when caretakers and parents are stripped of bodily autonomy through incarceration, denied a voice in how their children are raised - especially for people giving birth in prison. This slide reads: The goal of this project is direct support. We want to collaborate with organizations across Georgia to assist justice-impacted parents and caregivers with the resources they need, while also engaging community members with political education and outreach. Let’s bridge the gap between organizations, doula groups, and other initiatives to see how we can work together to address a need that the state often forgets. From community baby showers and rent assistance to town halls and community education, we can be the change we want to see! If you are an org who’d like to support this campaign, email us at: partnerships@amplify-ga.org In Solidarity, The Care Not Cages Team

🗣️ If our YOUTH ain't safe, NOBODY is!

Reproductive Justice is ensuring everyone in our communities are kept safe. But this can't be possible if we allow narratives and policies that endanger our most vulnerable to persist.

So stop hatin' and start lovin'! Our communities depend on it!

A post promoting an Op-Ed titled: Pregnancy as Probably Cause: Policing pregnant bodies. The graphic's header is "Pregnancy Criminalization Threatens Our Autonomy" A quote from the article states "Two years later, I had to advocate to get this same medication again. Why? Because Lupron also can be used in hormone therapy for trans people. I can’t say my new insurance company knew me as queer, but I can say transphobia plays a part in hormone prescriptions being flagged for investigation."

Assata Shakur's story reminds us that incarcerated pregnant people are still shackled & denied care.

#ReproductiveJustice means:
- No shackling & coercion
- No punishment for abortion, miscarriage, or birth
- The right to parent, or not, in safety and dignity

#HonorAssata #StopPolicingPregnancy
Assata: An Autobiography book cover. A yellow tear sheet is underneath with text that reads: In her autobiography, Assata Shakur shared how she was denied care, pressured to end the pregnancy she wanted, then shackled during labor after fighting for a gynecologist. Closeup of the Assata Autobiography book cover. Cream tearsheet underneath has a line down the middle. The left side reads: "'Isn't there something you can give me to keep me from having a miscarriage?'-Assata Shakur". The right side reads: "'my advice is to have an abortion...It would be best for everybody concerned...no matter which way you have it.' -Prison doctor" Photo of a young Assata smiling with her child daughter. Teal tearsheet underneath reads: Assata and her family struggled to honor her pregnancy choice. The fight remains today for incarcerated people to access reproductive safety, birthing care, and abortions. RJ means ending the policing of our bodies, inside and outside prison walls." Photo of Assata looking up with a hammered gold crescent shaped earring in her ear. Saturated orange tearsheet reads: "I believe that oppressed people, wherever they are, have the right to self-determination”
