MAKE AN IMPACT
Spread the knowledge and take action! In your hands, the lessons of the Green Wave abortion rights movement showcased in Green Tide Rising have the potential to continue the momentum of this movement in the Global North.
Utilizing a multi-pronged approach discover how Latin America’s Green Wave movement secured some of the most progressive abortion policies in the world, despite entrenched opposition from religious institutions, conservative political forces, and the legacy of U.S. foreign policy influence throughout Latin America.
A dynamic framework for organizers and activists to explore how social movements grow and evolve, and potentially implement these learnings into their own strategies.
As outlined by our resident Green Wave expert Ximena Casas Isaza in the podcast, it’s not legal decriminalization through the law that is needed for progress on abortion rights. The most impactful role each of us can play is by taking part in a collective Social Decriminalization. This guide helps you introduce, implement and integrate social decriminalization strategies into your actions.
This guide was created for advocates and changemakers, whether you’re an experienced activist or just getting started. Use it to:
- Set up your own listening circle or discussion group
- Organize and mobilize your community
- Apply lessons from the Global South to reproductive justice efforts in your context
This multimedia-based guide helps your organization or group facilitate discussions around:
- Reproductive rights and bodily autonomy
- Sociopolitical history of Latin America
