This season we are following stories of people touched by incarceration, all pushing forward to find their way into a better space. Is it possible to live through tragedy, addiction and incarceration and become an elected official?

In this episode of American Dreams: Reproductive Justice, we’re continuing the conversation of how the carceral system affects families and communities. Today I’d like you to meet Jovan Jackson. He’s 32, born and raised in Las Vegas, and comes from a family with two loving parents. He’s been an entrepreneur, community advocate and has committed himself to staying both civically and politically engaged in his community. He’s also a convicted felon.

American Dreams: Reproductive Justice is a podcast that will explore exactly what Reproductive Justice means. A thoughtful framework born in 1994, by 12 Black women in Chicago.

The four principles of Reproductive Justice are:

1. The right to have a child

2. The right to not have a child (which includes sterilization, which many doctors won’t do)

3. The right to have a child in a healthy environment and then raise them safely free from violence and with access to resources

4. The right to bodily autonomy and sexual pleasure

Season 2 of American Dreams will expand upon last season’s exploration of reproductive justice, centering stories of those touched by incarceration. Highlighting the effects of the carceral system and its effects on the directly and indirectly impacted people through the lens of reproductive justice.

American Dreams: Reproductive Justice Season 2 is executive produced and hosted by Erika Washington, powered by Make It Work Nevada. The podcast is associate produced, written and edited by Simone Endress. Music by Wil Black for Black Gypsy Music. Graphic designs by Mingo Collaso. A special thanks to Flobots for the use of their song ‘American Dreams’.
