Project Description
Restarant & food service workers comprise 10% of the American workforce. While acknowledging thevariety of backgrounds, experiences, and jobs that peope have in the sector, it is important to see reproductive justice issues that face food service workers in the context of affecting one in ten working people in the United States.
In operating a reproductive hotline for California, supporting people in their decisions around pregnancy, and providing logistical assistance for callers accessing abortion care, ACCESS Women’s Health Justice comes into contact with restaurant workers at the moment of need in a reproductive experience. In addition, many of our staff and volunteers also work in the restaurant sector and have had experiences similar to callers.
