SISTERSONG PRESENTS FOR THE LOVE OF CULTURE

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 | 6-9PM | ATLANTA, GA

Join us for Justice Jam, an electrifying evening of Reproductive Justice artists, singers, poets, filmmakers, movement builders, and visionary leaders as we rock the mic and reimagine the future of our movement. Together, we’ll unveil SisterSong’s Theory of Change, developed in partnership with leading organizations, and premiere our brand-new short documentary.

Culture Shift Theory of Change

Culture shift has been foundational to the reproductive justice (RJ) movement’s success within the greater reproductive rights and health landscape since its inception. The reproductive justice framework was, and is, a cultural intervention to recognize the intersectional reality lived by the people in our communities and to increase the relevancy of the mainstream reproductive health and rights movements. Our twelve movement foremothers such as Loretta Ross, Dr. Toni Bond & Able Mable Thomas and the founding sixteen women of color led organizations and individuals of SisterSong knew that for Black women and women of color to have the human right to bodily autonomy, the “pro-choice” frame wasn’t inclusive enough, and needed to center Black women and women of color’s experiences and expertise to build momentum. Cultural interventions such as these continue to be an essential part of our winning strategy three decades later.

Releasing on September 20th, 2025, this campaign was created to (1) assert why a deeper investment in culture shift as a strategy to combat our opposition’s attempt to force us to surrender to fascism and (2) to offer an experimental framework on cultural interventions as the foundation of culture shift strategies (3) offer a theory of change model to help guide philanthropy and others interested in resourcing cultural strategies.

Art has the power to break down barriers, uncover plugged ears, raise new questions and conversations, inspire compassion, spark activism, and rally multitudes around a cause. SisterSong’s Artists United for Reproductive Justice program is harnessing the incredible movement-building power of art.

AURJ convenes women of color artists (including trans* women) diverse in ethnicity, age, background, and artistic medium, to participate in RJ training and create collaborative artwork to advance the RJ movement. Our aim is to create easily replicable artwork that is spread throughout the nation by SisterSong and by allied groups. We will support groups in using the artwork to grow and deepen RJ activism in their communities, and we will maintain a support network for program alumni to continue making RJ artwork. With the greatest culture change tool of all, we will steadily reshape US culture to not only support, but demand Reproductive Justice for all.

AURJ’s goal is to reclaim our stories in communities of color and recalibrate our lived experiences through a variety of artistic mediums that allow people to reclaim our humanity and liberation in both public and private spaces.
