'Unrelenting storms are ravaging the world, including Louisiana. The attack on our reproductive rights is another storm threatening Black women in Louisiana and across the country.'
. So many Black communities in Louisiana have been wiped out by these storms, not only losing their homes, but also their networks of support. If you are displaced, you lose the very community that has held you up—the people you count on during hard times.
We live in fear of police violence. We’re forced to send our children to schools that are more likely to criminalize them than educate them. When we turn to doctors for healing, we get an often lethal dose of medical racism. The same politicians who oppose social supports, like food stamps, public housing and Medicaid, pass laws to restrict our rights.
Black women are being denied the resources, and the right to live and raise our families with dignity—and without state interference. The impending overturn of, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, threatens to further denigrate Black women’s rights and lives. When the government decides that our bodies are not our own, we lose more than the right to abortion, we lose the right to our bodily autonomy and integrity.
