In this moment of uprising in response to the multiple crises unfolding across the country and world—particularly police violence against black people—it is imperative that we continue to demand what keeps our communities safe. Trans women and femmes of color (TWOC) have been historically excluded from the formal 1 workforce and forced to rely on criminalized work for survival. Such economic violence leads to police targeting and incarceration. Organizing over the past five years has begun to open up economic opportunities for trans women and femmes of color. We won’t go back. This is the time to fight to maintain and surpass those gains.

This infographic created by Interrupting Criminalization and The Center for Advancing Innovative Policy shows how the criminalization of reproductive autonomy functions, and how it is all part of a larger web. There are many sites and mechanisms of criminalization of reproductive autonomy in this violent system—which also means there are many points and opportunities for intervention and resistance available to us.

In response to the expanding criminalization of reproductive autonomy through increasing restrictions on abortion and reproductive care, and the growing criminalization of pregnant people and parents, a group of reproductive justice and anti-criminalization organizers and advocates came together in May 2019 to develop a shared analysis and resistance strategies.
