The Second Annual
Reproductive and Sexual Justice
February 24, 2012 - 9 am to 5:30 pm
San Diego State University
Healing Circle and Training
Interested in learning holistic, social justice approaches
to reproductive and sexual well-being?
Register for the Reproductive and Sexual Justice Healing Circle and Training at San Diego State University!
Drawing from theories and practices developed by women of color, this special one-day event will explore reproductive and sexual health issues, such as abortion, contraception, HIV/STDs and access to health care, within the context of other social justice issues, including economic justice, immigrant rights and LGBTQ rights. We will use holistic, co-counseling techniques (e.g. attentive listening, truthful storytelling, and respectful dialogue) to help build community and inspire activism. By the end, we hope that participants will use this knowledge within their own communities. Given the focus on personal experience and mental and spiritual well-being, please note that the healing circle may elicit strong emotional responses.
Leaders:
Gabriela Valle of California Latinas for Reproductive Justice
B. Cole of the Brown Boi Project
Luz Alvarez Martinez, former director of National Latina Health Organization

Intersection of 5th and E Streets
San Diego downtown
Brothers and sisters,
This year, we commemorate the 100-year anniversary of a city ordinance that banned public speaking and assembly in the area around 5th and E Streets in downtown San Diego and the subsequent battle that followed. During the course of this struggle, many were arrested, beaten and even killed for asserting their rights to simply stand on a soap box and speak.
The 100-year anniversary of the San Diego Free Speech Fight is a celebration of the legacy of local labor and civil rights activism and a reminder that if we are not vigilant in the protection of our rights, we can certainly lose them.
Please join us as we commemorate the struggle for free speech in San Diego at the original site of the protests with music, performances, speeches, and special guests on Wednesday, February 8 at 6:00 p.m. at the Intersection of 5th and E Streets, San Diego 92101
Free parking is available at Horton Plaza, just 2 blocks away, with validation in the mall. Bring a flashlight if you have one.
We hope to see you there!
For more information about this event, contact Elizabeth at enewman@unionyes.org
