This helpful how-to guide introduces the practices, history, and politics of youth movements for justice in the United States.
Grounded in the struggles and worldmaking of queer and trans youth and people of color, Youth Organizing for Reproductive Justice shows us how all youth organizing is reproductive justice as young people resist systems of oppression that limit bodily autonomy and self-determination. Through case studies, activist spotlights, and organizing how-tos, this book provides powerful tools for understanding the interconnected struggles at the center of youth activism.
From the school-to-prison pipeline to transgender youth's access to gender-affirming care to support for pregnant and parenting teens, Chris Barcelos shows that reproductive justice inspires political organization across a range of issues. Rich with practical tips and a supplemental teaching guide, Youth Organizing for Reproductive Justice will help mobilize scholars, activists, policymakers, reproductive justice nonprofit workers, and youth organizers toward collective liberation.
