    AUDIO ONLY: Watch the full video on our YouTube Bodies Count, and so does your VOTE! With election day fast approaching, we thought it was time we hit the gas on getting out the vote for the midterms. For the next six weeks, SisterSong and the Bodies Count podcast are teaming up with the My Body My Future Fund for the Got Body? campaign to fight for bodily autonomy and get our people to the polls. In this full length episode of Bodies Count, Simran is joined by Samirah Raheem, face of the Got Body? campaign, and Ericka Claudio, founder of the My Body My Future Fund to chat about the importance of voting in local and state elections. Did you know that an average of only 15-27% of registered voters are showing up to vote in local elections? That means that your rights are being decided by a tiny portion of the population, and they could be weirdos, who knows. So take back your voice, and take back your vote! Get your girls together and strut to the polls. Take a cute date to the polls. Do what you gotta do to have your voice heard this election, it takes all of us to win. This episode of Bodies Count is the kickoff to a six part mini series featuring interviews with some of the biggest movers and shakers in politics today. Every week leading up to Election Day, we’ll be dropping one very special episode featuring state legislators, Congress members, activists, and more from the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference in DC.

    Co-Lactation is Reproductive Justice with Bianca

    The best part about Reproductive Justice? That there are no rules! In this episode of Bodies Count, Simran chats with Bianca from Forward Together on their experience with being a non-birthing parent who chose to co-lactate and be part of chest feeding their baby. This episode is a continuation of Bianca's article on co-lactation in Forward Together's New Visions anthology. New Visions is a living anthology, a love letter to those who have felt unheard or unrepresented within reproductive justice spaces. Check out Bianca's piece and more here!

    Let the People Talk: Community Based Research is Reproductive Justice with Amanda Furdge and Jordyn Close

    We're almost done with season 2 of the F*ck Marry Kill podcast 🤩 Check out this week's episode featuring members of SisterSong's very own Reproductive Health Experiences and Access Study Community Advisory Board. This study and episode has been a key reminder that good, solid research must be rooted in the needs and experiences of the community. Let the people talk! 💗💗 Thank you to our amazing guests Jordyn Close and Amanda Furdge! Sadly, I could not find the video of the Ohio politician saying that abortions are bad for the crib industry... but crazier things have certainly happened.
