Why Jessica González-Rojas Champions Reproductive Justice

<p>The executive director of the Latina Institute for Reproductive Health talks about how legislative restrictions on abortion impact our health and our communities. Jessica recalls how a trip to a clinic to get birth control became her first act of political activism, what it means to reframe the abortion debate as a matter of reproductive justice, and how Latinas, often perceived as either “virginal” or “hyper-sexualized,” actually view sexual health.</p><p>Follow Jessica on Twitter @jgonzalez_rojas and IG @pararican and @votejgr.
