Third Wave is proud to have supported the Pro-Choice Public Education Project’s original production of the Reproductive Justice Briefing Book as well as the website work on it, and we’re excited to announce that a second part just came out! Access it here.

From the PEP website:

“PEP takes a holistic approach to looking at reproductive health care and how women’s real life experiences affect their ability to make healthy decisions about our bodies, sexuality and reproduction for ourselves, our families and our communities.

In these pages, you will find perspectives on a wide range of reproductive justice issues, from new reproductive technologies to teen parents to the impact of government policies on access to health care.”
