SisterSong

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
SisterSong has been a crucial player in the fight against reproductive oppression. Since its nascence in the early 90s, SisterSong has remained at the forefront of the reproductive justice movement, particularly in establishing key theoretical and analytical frameworks through which to understand reproductive health, reproductive rights, and reproductive justice.

The article was well-written and presented a relatively clear overview of SisterSong’s early foundation and history. The information was pertinent and concise, especially in the Projects section and the SisterSong’s founding and history. However, there were a variety of statements requiring sources that did not have them. For example, the statements “Since then, they have added many other reproductive justice trainings” and “The billboard campaign was complemented by a documentary film, Maafa 21, which was distributed to black churches and organizations and claimed that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was racist and that Planned Parenthood’s agenda was genocide” are two of many in the article that need citations but do not have them. Moreover, there were many areas where grammar and syntax could have been improved. For example, the sentence about Maafa 21 that I quoted earlier is unnecessarily long and utilizes the conjunction “and” far too many times. Instead, breaking up the sentence into two shorter sentences would aid in improving clarity and consistency. In terms of content, I would appreciate some updates about how SisterSong has been functioning in 2020 and 2021, especially given the COVID-19 pandemic. Certainty, operations have been altered, and seeing how the reproductive justice movement has transitioned into a more virtual format is important information missing from the article.
