Podcasthon 2026: SisterSong and the Reproductive Justice Movement

Reproductive justice isn’t just about pregnancy. It’s about power, policy, and the conditions that shape people’s lives.This week, Unzipping Taboos is proud to participate in Podcasthon, a global movement uniting podcasts to spotlight organizations creating meaningful change. This year, we are honored to highlight SisterSong and their decades of leadership advancing reproductive justice.We talk with Shanti Moore, Birth Justice Training and Curriculum Coordinator at SisterSong, for a wide-ranging conversation about what reproductive justice truly means. Rooted in a framework developed by women of color, reproductive justice goes beyond healthcare — it examines how overlapping systems of oppression impact bodily autonomy, community safety, environmental conditions, voting access, and more.We discuss SisterSong’s RJ101 training, the evolution of their work since 1997, and the birth justice initiatives addressing disparities in maternal health outcomes for Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. We also explore the vulnerability of pregnancy and postpartum care, the role of faith communities, and why implementing reproductive justice is a lifelong commitment grounded in education, grace, and collective action.As part of this year’s Podcasthon, we’re proud to amplify SisterSong’s mission — and we invite you to learn more, support their work, and join the ongoing effort to build systems where justice is not conditional, but guaranteed.  DONATE to SisterSong To learn more about SisterSong, check out these links: SisterSong.net SisterSong - Become a Member About SisterSong SisterSong RJ Training
