Linda Goler Blount (Black Women's Health Imperative), Marcela Howell (Communications Consortium Media Center), Janette Flint (Black Women for Wellness), LaTasha Mayes (New Voices Pittsburgh) Dázon Dixon Diallo (SisterLove, Incorporated) and Malika Redmond (SPARK Reproductive Justice Now) release a statement: "In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda will focus on abortion rights and access, contraceptive equity and comprehensive sex education as our key policy issues. As a reproductive justice initiative, we approach these issues from a human rights perspective, incorporating the intersections of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, and gender identity with the situational impacts of economics, politics, and culture that make up the lived experiences of Black women in this country" (For Harriet, 2014).
