    Ep. 26: The (Racist) History of Birth Control in the US Nov 18, 2021
    Show notes

    Welcome back to BFR! This week we are unpacking birth control as simply contraception or a way to control one's reproduction, and the legacy of its distribution, or lack thereof, in America. Birth control is necessary for the full liberation of people with uteruses, and is a critical component of full reproductive health care, but we cannot discuss birth control without mentioning its racist inception in the US.

    If you have not already, please be sure to sign up for our newsletter!

    Additionally, we would love for our listeners to fill out our BFR Audience Survey BFR Audience Survey so we know what you want to see from us as a podcast, and as a host!

    An incredible thank you to our sponsor for this episode: URGE: Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity. URGE envisions a liberated world where we can live with justice, love freely, express our gender and sexuality, and define and create families of our choosing.

    Show notes

    BFR Host, LaKia Williams, talks briefly about her short hiatus from the podcast and her recent college graduation before discussing the importance of rest as a revolutionary act. For young people and people with oppressed identities it can often feel like it is mandatory to exhaust ourselves to prove our worthiness; however, this is a decision of a capitalistic grind culture that prioritizes profit and consumerism over human life.
