About Take Root

The Take Root - Red State Reproductive Justice Conference continues to create a foundational space for red state connections and organizing. As we enter into Take Root’s twelfth year, we find ourselves in a crucial moment in which to engage activists in red states. The 13th annual Take Root Red State Reproductive Justice Conference returns to an in person convening October 14th & 15th, 2023 in Louisville, Kentucky! Information to submit proposals and join committees coming soon!

Hosting a conference with a reproductive justice framework helps us see the connection between:
  • poverty and food access in rural and urban communities
  • histories of coercive sterilization of people of color
  • the disparity in impacts of the criminalization of drugs and its effects on families
  • gender self-determination and gender violence
  • access to contraception
  • trans health
  • medical consent information.  

Past speakers include:
  • abortion providers, funds, escorts, and practical support groups
  • bail funds
  • birth workers and doulas
  • data and digital security
  • students
  • health care professionals
  • immigrant rights advocates
  • legal professionals
