SJPS: Where justice and religion meet the mic.

Some gatherings change the atmosphere.
Others change the people in it.
FARS does both.

This year’s theme: Protecting Humanity: Standing in Sacred Authority

We are gathering in Memphis with faith leaders, advocates, organizers, artists, researchers, and everyday people committed to protecting humanity in a time demanding courage.

Not performative faith.
Not empty rhetoric.
But sacred authority rooted in justice, truth, and collective liberation.

🗓 October 14–17, 2026
📍 Memphis, TN

Meet us where faith and justice collide.
Meet us where strategy, spirit, and action gather under one roof.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family, colleagues, and friends of our beloved, Rep. G.A. Hardaway Sr.

SisterReach honors the tireless work, legacy and commitment of Rep. Hardaway with love, respect, and appreciation. He was a constant champion for reproductive and sexual justice, for the leadership of Black women, and was committed to supporting SisterReach's advocacy for Black families and our communities. Rest in Power Representative! We will miss you.

Black parenthood has never looked just one way. 🖤
It’s aunties.
It’s uncles.
It’s chosen family.
It’s the people who step in, stand in the gap, and love our children like their own.
That’s always been our strength.
Black Maternal Health Week calls us to honor all the ways our children are cared for and raised.
Because every child deserves to feel seen in the people who love them.

Black maternal health has to include all of us. 🖤

That means being honest about who is giving birth and who needs care.
Malachi’s story reminds us that Black trans men and birthing people are part of this conversation—and deserve to be seen, respected, and cared for the right way.
When healthcare systems ignore or dismiss gender identity, harm happens. And too often, it could have been prevented.
This week is about telling the full truth.
About who we center.
And what it really looks like to care for our communities.
Because everybody deserves care that meets them fully.

Motherhood doesn’t start and stop at birth.
Reproductive and sexual justice includes adoption.
Black Maternal Health Week calls us to center the full spectrum of what it means to mother. Not just pregnancy and birth, but the right to raise children in safe, supported communities.
Black motherhood has always been expansive.
And every pathway to motherhood deserves care, respect, and resources.
Maternal health is not just about how we give life.
It’s about how we sustain it.

We are not meant to do this alone.
When partners, spouses, and families are informed and present, everything shifts.
Support shows up differently. Care feels different. Outcomes change.
Black maternal health is not just about the individual—it’s about the village around them.
This week, we’re lifting up what it looks like when that support is real, active, and rooted in love.
Because showing up matters. And nobody should have to navigate this journey by themselves.

This April, we’re holding space for healing, safety, and truth.
From maternal health to survivor support to sexual health education...
we’re naming what our communities need to truly thrive.

Because safety is not optional.
And care should never be conditional.
