It’s a powerful celebration of our shared commitment to creating a world where justice and equality are realities for everyone.” Regina Davis Moss, President/CEO of In Our Own Voice – National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda.
“I’m so excited for the young BIPOC, queer and trans folks of URGE to have the opportunity to partner with the nation’s other leading RJ organizations to celebrate and uplift our communities. These states are our homes, and there is joy and justice in claiming our space. We are truly stronger together,” said Kimberly Inez McGuire, Executive Director of URGE.
“I’m thrilled that our organizations have come together to celebrate both how far we’ve come, and to recommit ourselves to that most basic principle our country was founded upon: that we never stop working to bring about a more perfect tomorrow, where joy, justice and equality is a reality for all.” said Lupe Rodriguez of Latina Institute.
“These events are an incredible opportunity for our organizations and communities to show up in solidarity with one another and celebrate the power of our voices and experiences.
