We want to extend a special invitation to you to join a virtual seven week study on faith and reproductive justice. This study was created by SacReD,the Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity The mission of SACReD is to empower congregations to become loving, justice-seeking faith communities that fully support the fulfillment of reproductive moral agency and flourishing for all.SACReD developed this curriculum to help participants deepen their understanding of the connection between faith, racism, and reproductive ethics, and to identify strategies and actions for liberation within religious communities and the larger world.
