How Does Reproductive Justice Win?
Client: New Republic
Role: Digital illustration, Typography
Year: 2022
Format: Web
In this compelling illustration, a diverse group of women—spanning various ages, races, and sexual orientations—lie on the ground, their mouths sealed with tape. This poignant imagery serves as a powerful visual metaphor for the silenced voices within the struggle for reproductive rights. It accompanies Amy Littlefield's insightful article exploring the evolution of the reproductive rights movement, highlighting the recent efforts by a Black caucus in Texas to foster a more inclusive agenda. The illustration poignantly reflects on the historical focus on abortion rights and questions whether the overturning of Roe v. Wade could mark a pivotal moment for expanding and diversifying the movement's goals, making a profound call for unity and broader inclusivity in the fight for reproductive justice.
