Internships

BE A VOICE FOR REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE ON YOUR CAMPUS!
 "Talking to a large group of people about the frank and complicated subjects of reproductive justice and health is not what scares me.  What scares me is the idea of nobody talking about the subjects at all."  
-Megan Kleczka, Eastern CT State University Vox Intern 2007

"Speaking out in favor of reproductive choice is an important part of my identity as a feminist. It is essential that I voice my opinion to inspire others to do the same. We are collectively empowering those who have been silenced. My voice enables me to be an active citizen, and for me, there is no better way to be free."    -Wesleyan University Intern
