Greetings 1Ls!

Harvard’s chapter of Law Students for Reproductive Justice would like to welcome you to campus!

You may wonder what our name means, and what exactly it is that we do. Our work encompasses more than just “choice,” and includes the examination and elimination of discriminatory health care practices, and the promotion of policies and laws that further those ends. In other words, “Reproductive justice will be achieved when all people and communities have access to the information, resources, and support they need to attain sexual and reproductive self-determination.”

On campus, we’re involved in sharing information about Harvard students’ access to emergency contraception and the HPV vaccine; working to bring resources for student parents through the Parenting Initiative; and bringing exciting speakers and panels to campus.

We know that you’ll be busy this year, but we would love to see you apply to be a 1L Rep, come to some of our fun upcoming events, or even just check out our website. Please keep checking this website (http://lsrj.org/hls) for more info, and the national organization website is also a great resource: http://lsrj.org . Feel free to email Stephanie or Kate if you’d like more information. We look forward to meeting you!

HLS Parenting Initiative

The HLS Parenting Initiative is a school-wide project led by HLS for Reproductive Justice and the Society for Life, Law, and Religion. Over the course of the semester, the Initiative will take a close look at what the law school is doing to support pregnant and parenting students, will delineate areas for improvement, and will advocate around those issues.
If you would like more information, please email Ashley Gorski.
