Verso Books is currently offering an ebook, “We Organize to Change Everything: Fighting for Abortion Access and Reproductive Justice” edited by Natalie Adler, Marian Jones, Jessie Kindig, Elizabeth Navarro, and Anne Rumberger, for free through their site.
“A collaboration between acclaimed socialist feminist magazine Lux and Verso, We Organize to Change Everything examines the fight for abortion from the 1970s to the present, bringing together the voices of clinic defenders, health care providers, and the networks of feminist activists helping pregnant people obtain care from Mississippi to Mexico. Contributors also consider the intimate connection of abortion rights to forced sterilization and structural racism, incarceration and criminalization, Indigenous people’s sovereignty, transgender rights, and the growing threat of a white supremacist far right. Looking outside of the US to the Americas, the collection shows how US activists can draw inspiration, lessons, and strategy from the dynamic feminist movement across Central and South America.
Most importantly, this collection describes what a fighting movement for reproductive justice could look like – one that fights for the right to parent as we wish or not parent at all, and rejects the criminalization of anyone’s body.”
In a post-Roe US, “We Organize to Change Everything” offers an important historical context and an honest assessment into the status of reproductive rights and freedom before Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health.
