— The Fertility Justice Vision
About the Convening

Join us for the Fertility Justice & Family Building Convening, a pre-conference gathering of advocates, healthcare providers, researchers, organizers, storytellers, and community members committed to advancing the reproductive justice framework — focused on access to fertility care and family building resources for Black communities and historically marginalized populations.

Through powerful conversations, panel discussions, and community-centered dialogue, we invite you to be part of this important movement.
