Yesterday kicked off the first National Week of Action for Reproductive Justice. The Third Wave Foundation has a list of local and national organizations that you can get involved with to support the week's work...
For more information on the Week of Action for Reproductive Justice, you can also check out SAFER's blog and our very own Miriam at Nuestra Vida, Nuestra Voz, the blog of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health.
Thanks so much to Jacinta, of the Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights (COLOR), for giving us the heads up.

For those who want some more background on what Reproductive Justice is, this is a good article: http://www.motherjones.com/commentary/columns/2006/01/reproductiv /e_justice.html
After being incredibly involved in Law Students for Reproductive Justice (formerly Law Students for Choice), I think it's inaccurate to say that we separate Reproductive Rights from Reproductive Justice; it's just more that the law only provides so many remedies and we do what we can within it.
Most of all, I hope everyone gets involved!!!
