Description:

Drug use and pregnancy are sensitive subjects that are often addressed without the opportunity to hear from experts. Please watch our webinar featuring medical experts who discuss evidence-based research on drug use, addiction, and pregnancy. In addition, local legal and community advocates offer insight into the current responses to drug use and pregnancy in the Central Valley and approaches that will advance maternal, fetal, and child health. Join us at Take Root 2020! October 17 18Kentucky Health Justice Network Presents Take Root: Red State Reproductive Justice. Take Root continues to create a foundational space for red state connections and organizing. As we enter into Take Root’s 10th year, we find ourselves in a crucial moment in which to engage activists in red states. Take Root 2020 will be a necessary space for responding to the current landscape, and organizing for what’s next.Register HereNAPW DEFENDS AND ADVOCATES FOR THE RIGHTS, health, and dignity of pregnant and parenting women ABOUT UsNAPW combines legal advocacy, public education and organizing to achieve a country in which no one is arrested, shamed, or denied constitutional or human rights because they have the capacity for pregnancy, are pregnant, or because of any outcome of their pregnancies — including births, miscarriages, stillbirths and abortions. NAPW is committed to advancing the equal rights and personhood of all pregnant people including those most likely to be targeted for arrest, detention, and blame — low income women, women of color, and drug-using women.READ MOREHow we defend and advance the rights and dignity of people with the capacity for pregnancyGET OUR ACTIVIST UPDATESThe latest news and ways to take action delivered to your inboxAbout Our Language: Historically, the State has targeted people identified as women for discrimination and state control based on pregnancy and their capacity for pregnancy. The overwhelming majority of people NAPW has represented and advocated for have been identified in public records as women. In addition, the research and data available on many of our issues typically employ the word women. NAPW recognizes,  however, that not all people with the capacity for pregnancy identify as women and that the gender binary itself contributes to systems of discrimination and control. NAPW’s work is intended to contribute to an all-encompassing fight for civil and human rights — in other words, a true personhood movement. To that end, NAPW uses the terms “women,” “pregnant people” and “people with the capacity for pregnancy” in recognition of the fact that all people are entitled to dignity, equality, and fairness regardless of gender identity, capacity for pregnancy, pregnancy, or stage of pregnancy including labor and delivery.
