Throughout history in various social movements art has been used as a tool to provide awareness and evoke strong emotions to further a cause. Today we live in a post Roe society, with the overturning of the case in June, sparking an even larger debate across the country about the legality of abortion. This is cause for a huge awakening of the reproductive justice movement meaning art is a more important tool than ever.
