Community-Driven Concepts to Support TPC Coalition Building in a Post- Roe World

Maria Novotny University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee ; Gina Davis ; Maya Grobel ; Jennifer Vesbit

Abstract

As threats against reproductive autonomy increase nationally, coalition building serves as an essential practice to advocate for the needs of reproductive persons. This experience report focuses on the work of coalition building for those seeking access to alternative family building services and fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization, which rely upon the availability of donor embryo/s. Our report sheds light on the often unseen moments essential to supporting community-driven coalitional efforts, identifies concepts to guide coalitional practice in technical and professional communication, and underscores the value of slowness in coalitional work despite the increasing threats limiting access to reproductive care.
