Why is it necessary to have a physical space in South Chicago that focuses on reproductive health?
Chicago is historically one of the most segregated cities in the US, says Regina Townsend of The Broken Brown Egg, and most reproductive clinics are located in the more affluent, predominantly white neighborhoods on the north side.
Reproductive health is difficult enough without having to travel an hour each way to ask a question or understand test results. Enter: The Well Lit Project.
Mental health, financial literacy, as well as reproductive health and justice — all of these are critical to our overall health, and wouldn't it be nice to have a south-side space for resources, conversation, and rest?
