Bowdoin Reproductive Justice Coalition - Mission Statement
April 2023

The History of Reproductive Justice
The concept of reproductive justice has been practiced by Indigenous women, women of color, and transgender women long before their advocacy work had a specific term. Reproductive justice as a framework and practice was named when a group of Black women gathered in Chicago in 1994 to address disparities in the Clinton Administration's proposal for healthcare reform which de-emphasized reproductive healthcare. The group, who named themselves Women of African Descent for Reproductive Justice, launched the reproductive justice movement by publishing a historic full-page statement with 800+ signatures in The Washington Post and Roll Call calling for all health care reform packages to include the concerns of Black women. Three years later, 16 organizations, including Black, Asian-American, Latina, and Indigenous women, merged to create Sister Song Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective. Today, Sister Song defines reproductive justice as "the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities." Through the reproductive justice framework, activism is centered on how reproductive health and access are shaped by the various aspects that make up one's lived experience.

Bowdoin Reproductive Justice Coalition Mission Statement
The Bowdoin Reproductive Justice Coalition aims to foster education, discussion, and advocacy for reproductive justice within the Bowdoin community. We seek to promote activism at both the local and national levels and affect political change with an emphasis on access to equitable reproductive healthcare. We hope to serve as a connection between Bowdoin students and the larger reproductive justice movement through partnering with on-campus, local, and national organizations.
In order to foster an intersectional coalition, we have dissolved our leadership structure and seek representation from as many viewpoints and backgrounds as possible. Anyone can be an officer and lead an initiative. We encourage all students to join and believe a real coalition is diverse in backgrounds, experiences, and identities. We hope anyone who is passionate about reproductive justice will use the coalition's resources to achieve their advocacy goals. At every meeting, the floor is open to all attendees to bring forward issues they want to work on or discuss. We are committed to collaborating with other student groups on campus to foster a welcoming and collaborative space. To see the structure of the coalition, please see our Club Constitution attached in Campus Groups.

To provide an invaluable opportunity to explore and engage with many disciplines of contemporary scientific research and issues, within and extending out of Bowdoin College, through interdisciplinary science journalism and publication.

About Bowdoin Science Journal:
Recent events have made it clear that scientific literacy is required to be an engaged, thoughtful citizen of the modern world. Science is for everyone. It should be communicated clearly and thoroughly. We strive to encourage thoughtful and interdisciplinary scientific thinking in an accessible and exciting manner. We wish to engage science and non-science students alike, fostering dialogue between the two groups and enhancing the educational experience of both.

We hope to encourage students to dive into the many facets of science and engage with current issues revolving around science. By offering different perspectives and lenses of scientific thinking, we wish to enrich people's understanding of the world around them. We aim to grow as students in the sciences by learning more about these issues and sharing this knowledge with others. Our target audience for these publications are students, faculty, alumni, and community members affiliated with Bowdoin College, as well as any individual who is seeking to learn more about the science that governs the world around us.

BUMP seeks to support and build a stronger community for underrepresented students on their path to medical professions with the overarching goal of diversifying healthcare. While the club closely aligns itself to the American Association of Medical Colleges' definition of underrepresented in medicine, those racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population, BUMP expands its meaning to include individuals marginzalied on the basis of class, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.

BUMP offers programming and fellowship centered on academic and social support, essential skills, and knowledge of the pathways to healthcare careers. By providing space for this community to grow, as well as tools to excel in medicine, BUMP supports underrepresented students in paths toward medical professions. BUMP students are supported throughout their undergraduate career to navigate and access high impact opportunities and learn what it means to be a strong candidate for medical and health professional schools.

The Native American Student Association welcomes all walks of life. In an effort to reclaim our Indigeneity, NASA's mission aims to increase awareness of Native cultures and perspectives on Bowdoin's predominantly white campus. NASA provides a safe healing space for all students who are passionate about tackling issues facing Indigenous peoples today. To reframe colonized ideologies surrounding education and ways of knowing, NASA believes that change comes from within community. We encourage the Bowdoin community to recognize the importance of Native voices and sovereignty in white spaces, as we are the backbone of existence.

We want respectfully acknowledge Bowdoin College resides upon the traditional homelands of the Abenaki People. The Abenaki are members of the Wabanaki Confederacy, or "People of the Dawn," which include five member nations: the Abenaki, Migamaw, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, and the Penobscot.

This was a site of trade, travel, gathering, and healing for the Wabanaki over more than 12,000 years. Today, each community maintains its own tribal government, community schools, cultural centers, and manages its respective lands and natural resources.

Although most of Maine's Native people belong to one of these five federally recognized groups and reside on tribal lands, other Native people live in towns and cities across the State. We make this acknowledgment aware of violations of water, territorial rights, and sacred sites across Wabanaki homelands, which are stewarded today by over 7,800 tribal members in the state of Maine.

Indigenous peoples continue to protect and remain in relationship with the land and waters and will do so until the end of time. It is vital to honor these beginnings and recognize the ongoing dedication and importance of Indigenous culture within our communities and within the spaces that we gather, live, learn, and work on.

People of the Dawn allow us to be here. For their truth is our truth. Their pain is our pain. With our breath we carry words of healing. With our hands we write this prayer.

Office Hours Improv works to bring long-form improvisational comedy to Bowdoin. Our group studies the teachings of the Upright Citizens Brigade and their manual on comedy improvisation, and we devote at least five hours a week to practicing and playing together. We value the UCB form and also try to explore new comedic forms based upon the group's interests. We take improv seriously as a comedic art, a structure to build community and as means to develop as individuals. We want every show to feel original and to offer something different than the last. We believe that the practice of improv stretches our imagination and helps us become more creative, trusting, and curious people. While this group admits new members via audition, we value inclusivity and are interested in sharing improv practices with the broader community. We love to laugh!
