Reproductive Justice

Join out team members Drs. Dara Mendez, Sonya Borrero, Mehret Birru Talabi, and Greer Donley as they speak at the Let’s Talk about Reproductive Justice happening next week, April 17th.

Black Maternal Health Week is here! The Pennsylvania Black Maternal Health Caucus will host a series of events in Harrisburg.

The Georgia Medication Abortion study is co-led by reproductive justice organization SisterLove, Emory-RISE researchers, and Dr. Elizabeth Mosley. The team created a medication abortion educational video for Black and Latinx communities in Georgia. The study found that knowledge and awareness of medication abortion was lower for people of color, younger people, and people living in Georgia. But after viewing the video, most of those disparities disappeared.
