Voices of Justice Now: New visions for reproductive and gender justice

"Excerpt: Most recently, I've been able to help bring this organizing
into conversation with emerging work centering transgender and gender
non-conforming people targeted by the prison industrial complex. In
this back-and-forth, the movement challenging the imprisonment of
people in women's prisons has shared lessons we've learned, i.e. how
we've contributed to the rise of dangerous policy trends ("gender
responsive" prison expansion) , and the movement challenging the
imprisonment of transgender and gender non-conforming communities has
significantly deepened our broader movements' understandings and
embodiment of gender justice alliances – across gender identities,
gender presentations, and experiences of gender oppression."
