    From our friends at Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice:

    Have you ever wondered how communities of color can be more deeply engaged in the fight for comprehensive sexuality education?

    Have you been interested in how a reproductive justice approach to sexuality education justice can broaden the movement for comprehensive sexuality education?

     

    Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice (ACRJ) is excited to release our brand new toolkit:  Transforming API Communities: Tools for Sexuality Education.  While numerous toolkits provide the nuts and bolts of developing and implementing local comprehensive sexuality education campaigns, what’s lacking are resources aimed at getting parents and caregivers in communities of color and immigrant communities to a place where they feel inspired and prepared to engage in campaigns.  In our work at ACRJ, we’ve found that API parents are especially in need of useful and concrete tools to transform their beliefs about the benefits of comprehensive sexuality education into action for change.  By meeting API parents where they’re at, we believe Transforming API Communities is a critical first step in creating lasting and sustainable support for comprehensive sexuality education and will establish a strong foundation for many other reproductive justice issues facing our communities.

     

    We invite you to download Transforming API Communities at: http://www.reproductivejustice.org/Tools_for_SexEd.pdf and use it to learn new ways to engage communities that have been traditionally left out of the dialogue and organizing efforts around sexuality education!

     

    Want more? Join our webinar! If you’d like to learn more about how this toolkit advances a reproductive justice approach to comprehensive sexuality education, understand why it’s critical to work in API communities around sexuality education, and hear how ACRJ can continue to be a resource for your organization as you move forward with this work, we invite you to join a webinar on August 5, 12-1:30pm PT.   You can register for the webinar today at: https://cc.readytalk.com/r/fqp6dl635g1m.

     

    Thank you for all the work you do.  We look forward to connecting with you soon!
