About this Event
The anti-abortion movement is stepping up their attacks on abortion access, providers and people seeking care are being criminalized, and patients are dying from pregnancy complications, unable to access emergency care.
How can repro justice activists meet the moment and harness the enormous support for abortion access, LGBTQ+ rights, and healthcare access and build a sustainable movement that wins power? How do we organize those outraged by Trump's agenda and extremist laws taking away our bodily autonomy? How do we support those seeking abortion care when abortion funds and clinics face financial distress? How has the rise of telehealth care and self-managed abortion changed the priorities for activists? How do we effectively oppose an extremist movement seeking to ban abortion nationwide, enshrine "fetal personhood" laws that would give legal protections to embryos and criminalize pregnant people, and eliminate protections for queer and trans people?
If you are a reproductive justice activist, a healthcare provider or abortion fund worker, or interested in getting involved in the fight to expand abortion access and LGBTQ+ rights, please join for this facilitated discussion.
