About this Event
This event includes a powerful discussion about reproductive and maternal health, differences in outcomes based on race and class, a review of the solutions that have been shown to improve outcomes and an opportunity to advocate to local and national elected officials around reproductive and maternal health. We are joining forces with trailblazing organizations to share about fertility and maternal health in Georgia and discuss state based and federal legislation that impacts access to health care.
In addition to our distinguished panel, we will hear from several distinguished legislators about local and national laws that affect access to reproductive and maternal services.
The Webinar will be followed by individual Watch Party (in person) events throughout Georgia.
