At a time when feminist liberation centered on the cisheteronormative experiences of white women’s right to choose, reproductive justice was a movement created by Black women as a call for intersectional access to reproductive liberation and social justice for all marginalized people. In 1989, 30 Black women came together to write We Remember: African American Women Are For Reproductive Freedom, a pamphlet outlining their demands and ultimately leading the movement for reproductive freedom. statement was groundbreaking with figures like Rep. Shirley Chisholm, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, and civil rights activist Dorothy Height among the signatories.

This collaborative pamphlet was written by youth organizers based on their personal experiences as young people and as advocates. At a time when young people are often ignored or shut out of important conversations, we honor and uplift their authentic voices as experts in their own experience. Inspired by the original pamphlet’s artwork, this youth pamphlet aims to weave together contemporary photography with analog print and collage practices, often found in grassroots organizing and movement spaces.
