    ReproJobs

    To close out Women's History Month, we spoke to ReproJobs, a worker advocacy organization in the reproductive justice, rights, and health movement. Luna (not her real name) has been elevating and amplifying the concerns and calls to action on behalf of marginalized folks in a sector controlled by white feminists for decades. We're at a historical crossroads with regards to women of color and NBPOC in the workplace and the work done by ReproJobs has been critical to get us to this moment. (Note: Luna's voice has been modified to conceal her identity.)

    After the "American Dirt" controversy and the police murder of George Floyd, the publishing industry has faced a reckoning for its dismal record on internal diversity and the failure to publish diverse voices.

We also discuss the genesis of her book, "The Queens of the Resistance," which profiles Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi.

    Gaylon Alcaraz - Reproductive Justice

    Gaylon Alcaraz, a Chicago-based advocate, shares how her early work experiencing and fighting gentrification led to a lifetime of working for Black and brown women, girls, and nonbinary folks. Our conversation highlights the mostly white women leaders at feminist and reproductive rights organizations that pushed out women of color, essentially gentrifying the movement, while marketing themselves as racial justice champions.
