SISTERHOOD EMPOWERMENT CIRCLE:BLACK WOMEN ARE THE BACKBONES OF THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. THIS PROJECT MOBILIZES BLACK WOMEN AND ALLIES ON A QUARTERLY BASIS TO CRITICALLY EXAMINE STRUCTURED INEQUALITIES THAT MAKE US AND OUR YOUNG GIRLS MORE VULNERABLE TO CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM - AS WE SIMULTANEOUSLY EXPLORE OUR RESILIENCY AND STRENGTHS. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH:THIS RSP PROGRAM EDUCATES COMMUNITY MEMBERS ABOUT THE HISTORICAL LEGACY OF ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE AND THE LINK BETWEEN IT AND ITS DELETERIOUS EFFECTS ON WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH. U.S. WOMEN OF AFRICAN DESCENT HAVE PERSISTENTLY HIGHER RATES OF HORMONE-RELATED DISEASES AND OTHER REPRODUCTIVE CONDITIONS THAT MAY BE CAUSED OR EXACERBATED BY CHEMICAL EXPOSURE. PART OF THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM RACIALIZED BEAUTY NORMS THAT DRIVE WOMEN AND GIRLS TO PRODUCTS SPECIFICALLY MARKETED TO THEM THAT CONTAIN HARMFUL CHEMICALS. ISSUES OF ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE INCLUDE EXPOSURE TO: TOXINS AND OTHER HARMFUL CHEMICALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT, ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS (EDC), AND FOODS LADEN WITH CHEMICALS.INCARCERATION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH:PRISONS ARE SITES OF REPRODUCTIVE VIOLENCE AS WELL AS REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH INEQUITIES. THIS PROGRAM EXAMINES THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH NEEDS AND RIGHTS OF CURRENT AND FORMERLY INCARCERATED WOMEN OF COLOR IN THE U.S. PRISON SYSTEM. MOST OF THE WOMEN ARE OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE AND LARGELY FROM DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. INCREASING NUMBERS OF THESE WOMEN AND GIRLS REPRESENT A GROWING PROPORTION OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE IN THE U.S. CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM. ART AND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE:THIS PROGRAM USES ART AS A CATALYST - AND DRAWS ON THE SANKOFA PRINCIPLE OF LOOKING TO THE PAST TO UNDERSTAND THE PRESENT. THROUGH CURATED ARTWORK, WE TELL THE STORIES OF HISTORICAL INJUSTICES, BUT WE ALSO HONOR OUR ANCESTORS AND SHOW THE EMPOWERMENT OF BLACK WOMEN OVER TIME. CONSISTENT WITH THIS VISION, WE EDUCATE THE PUBLIC, INSPIRE INTROSPECTION, AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE THEM. MANY OF THE PIECES WE HAVE COMMISSIONED SHED LIGHT ON PAST MEDICAL MALFEASANCE AND THE HISTORY OF PSEUDOSCIENCE USED TO JUSTIFY THE INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY AND THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCT OF RACE.REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND IMMIGRATION:THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO ADDRESS HARSH ANTI-IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND THE MANY CHALLENGES THAT DOCUMENTED AND UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT WOMEN OF COLOR OFTEN FACE ACCESSING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES. THIS LEADS TO SIGNIFICANT HEALTH DISPARITIES AND ADVERSE HEALTH OUTCOMES. 290373 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X LILLY MARCELIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 6175904003 263 HUNTINGTON AVENUE 302 BOSTON MA 02115 ANN MARIE TEUBER PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MAAZA SEYOUM CLERK 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LILLY MARCELIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 99132 0 9474 LISA LACHANCE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE DECANDIA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MANTY SHONGWE BOARD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LISELI FITZPATRICK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROSEANN MURRAY DIRECTOR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOSEPHINE PANG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DELORES REYES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SARA CASE TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 YASSMINA MCDONALD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 99132 0 9474 0 0 0 0 0 534432 534432 3956 3956 OTHER REVENUE 900099 15039 15039 15039 553427 15039 0 3956 X 111474 83605 16721 11148 154259 113403 34020 6836 4793 2883 1420 490 21952 17323 3475 1154 29000 29000 356 356 72259 50987 6139 15133 16939 8000 7212 1727 3236 2466 589 181 5047 2959 2088 4872 1797 1563 1512 3065 3065 PROGRAM SUPPLIES AND AC 6718 6011 684 23 FOOD AND MEALS 6419 539 5786 94 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES 5146 400 4646 100 445535 290373 116764 38398 490602 410662 106636 294575 110000 155000 3088 5018 15425 11689 8608 3736 46997 18000 765931 886991 25129 19964 0 18333 25129 38297 X 601502 691194 139300 157500 740802 848694 765931 886991 107892 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 60973 614447 372663 613589 534432 2196104 60973 614447 372663 613589 534432 2196104 687043 1509061 31 53 16 1010 3956 5066 200 15039 15239 2216409 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER REVENUE - 2022 AMOUNT: $ 200. 2023 AMOUNT: $ 15,039.
