![[Image Description: A drawing of two Palestinian women holding steady eye contact with the viewer. On the left sits an elder wearing red, black, white, and green. Around her neck, she wears the key to the home her family was expelled from at gunpoint by a Zionist militia in the Nakba of 1948. Her granddaughter rests one hand on her shoulder and stands tall at her side. She is wearing a traditional black & white Palestinian keffiyeh and cradling her heavily pregnant belly. She will soon give birth in Gaza under siege. Above the women are the words, “Palestinian Liberation is Reproductive Justice” ]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F-iOQTUX0AAyl9g.jpg?name=small&format=webp)
