Reproductive Justice Leadership
Choice USA is looking for students who are interested in issues of reproductive health/rights/justice to apply to our Southern Reproductive Justice Leadership Institute (RJLI). The RJLI is a weekend long training that takes an in-depth look at issues that affect our reproductive freedom and connects those issues to the broader social justice movement. At the RJLI students will expand their knowledge of reproductive health, rights, and justice; hear from experts in the social justice movement, connect with others who share their passions and learn how to take action!
All Expenses Paid.
Date: October 17-19, 2008
