Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams dive into the long-standing tension in the repro freedom movement between immediate structural support and long-term advocacy. As abortion funding and mutual aid priorities are advanced alongside litigation and culture change strategies, finding the balance between various essential elements of repro freedom work can seem daunting.
Come along as Kelley and Terry make sense of a sustainable balance between the immediate and the strategic, addressing specifically the recent rift between abortion support organizations and big national campaigns — all while seeing future possibilities through spiritual, literary, and liberationist lenses.
