This helpful how-to guide introduces the practices, history, and politics of youth movements for justice in the United States

Grounded in the struggles and worldmaking of queer and trans youth and people of color, Youth Organizing for Reproductive Justice shows us how all youth organizing is reproductive justice as young people resist systems of oppression that limit bodily autonomy and self-determination. Through case studies, activist spotlights, and organizing "how-tos," this book provides a powerful tool for understanding the interconnected struggles at the center of youth activism.

From the school-to-prison pipeline to transgender youth's access to gender-affirming care to support for pregnant and parenting teens, Chris Barcelos shows that reproductive justice inspires political organizing across a range of issues. This book will help mobilize scholars, activists, policy makers, reproductive justice nonprofit workers, and youth organizers toward collective liberation.
