After the Supreme Court revoked our constitutional right to abortion in June 2022, activists around the United States developed community networks to import abortion pills and share them for free with people needing them. These networks have since distributed pills to over 100,000 people. Learning strategies developed by Latin American women, these networks operate outside the medical system and the law. Based on interviews with activists for my recent open access book and reporting for Ms. magazine, this presentation will cover the latest developments in abortion pill activism.

All of this can be possible if we keep in touch with likeminded thinkers.

 Let’s build this movement together.

Before we get started

Thanks for considering a submission to the Journal of Resistance Studies! Before we get started, we just want to make sure that everything is ready. JRS receives more submissions than we can publish. As a journal for a relatively new academic field, it is important for us to publish texts that contribute to developing 'Resistance Studies' with theoretical ideas, high quality empirical material, interesting analysis, and/or cases from a wide spectra of societal contexts.

Does your article:

  • Have a clear focus on 'resistance' and how resistance influences power relations?
  • Contribute to our theoretical understanding of resistance, or is a better fit for the sociology of social movement field?
  • Include an abstract, citations, and a reference list?
  • Does it follow the guidelines in our policy statement?

If you have answered yes to these questions, we look forward to reading your submission. Let's go!
