LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2024 ~ Los Angeles, CA- Black Women for Wellness is excited to announce that California Attorney General Rob Bonta will be delivering the opening remarks at their 25th Annual Reproductive Justice Conference. The conference, titled "A New Era of Justice: Our Bodies, Our Voices, Our Freedom," will take place on August 15, 2024, at The California Endowment in Los Angeles from 8am-5:30pm PT.
Attorney General Bonta has a long history of advocating for reproductive rights in California. In fact, he was the first Attorney General to proactively take action against "crisis pregnancy centers." He sued a chain of centers and an anti-abortion group over misleading advertisements for an unproven and experimental procedure known as "abortion pill reversal." Additionally, he led an investigation into statewide compliance with anti-implicit bias training for perinatal care providers. The investigation revealed that not a single employee had been fully trained. As a result, Attorney General Bonta sponsored new legislation to ensure successful implementation of state-mandated implicit bias training in order to reduce the disproportionate maternal mortality rate among Black women.

Furthermore, Attorney General Bonta released the first-ever report on reproductive healthcare in California jails. This report emphasized the importance of ensuring reproductive rights for incarcerated individuals. He has also taken action to defend access to abortion and contraception, protect patient privacy in receiving reproductive health care, demand tech companies protect sensitive reproductive health data, and protect those who come to California for care.
Attorney General Bonta's address will take place at 9:30 a.m., followed by a keynote panel titled "Designing our Future: Perspectives and Visions for a New Era of Justice and Liberation." The panel will feature Deon Haywood, executive director of Women With A Vision and nationally recognized leader in the reproductive justice movement, as well as Dazon Dixon Diallo, founder of SisterLove - the first women's HIV, sexual, and reproductive justice organization in the southeastern United States.
The conference's theme, "A New Era of Justice: Our Bodies, Our Voices, Our Freedom," will provide a platform for discussions on the evolving landscape of reproductive justice, the intersection of social justice issues, and the voices leading the charge for change. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from keynote speeches, panel discussions, and breakout sessions that cover critical topics such as maternal health, environmental justice, and civic engagement.

Some highlights of the conference include tracks on civic engagement, environmental justice, "grown and sexy," in/fertility, maternal health, men's issues, and youth empowerment. Janette Robinson Flint, executive director of Black Women for Wellness states that "Black women's bodies are indeed on the line in this new era of justice ushered in by the Dodd decision, the conservative Supreme Court and the willingness of many state governments to erode a woman's right to autonomy." She also emphasizes that this conference will address important issues such as implicit bias and its impact on Black women's health care experiences.
Tickets for the 25th Annual Reproductive Justice Conference are currently available for purchase.
