We'll record all ideas, then work with @TheFSFInstitute to elevate those insights to the Sept. 2022 @WhiteHouse Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. RSVP: forms.gle/AJiPonJ8zXTfDdYeA DM us/email charlie@unboxproject.org to join our NEXT dialogue—which will be virtual—in July!
The bodies of all people with uteruses are under coordinated attack. The end of Roe is life-altering and life-threatening. People of color, immigrants, queer people, people with disabilities, and low-income, working people face the greatest consequences if we all fail to act.
All oppression is interconnected. The same forces that enforce racism, sexism, colonialism, militarism, homophobia, transphobia, income inequality, and poverty - through written and unwritten rules - are the same forces that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Many of the regions hit hardest by food apartheid, systemic food injustice, and poverty are the same regions facing current or impending abortion bans. The fight for sovereignty over our bodies, and over our food, water, air, and land - are the same fight. #StandUpFightBack
