Join the League of Women Voters of Dane County for a public issues forum discussing how the Supreme Court decision that overturned the constitutional right to abortion is already impacting people across Wisconsin.
Join us online, via Zoom, or in person at Madison College South Campus on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. LWV Dane County forums are free and open to the public but **registration is required to participate via Zoom.**
The League of Women Voters believes that all people deserve access to abortion care when they need it, on a timeline of their choosing, and in a community and an environment they trust and feel safe in. The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturned the constitutional right to abortion has already affected many across Wisconsin.
Our speakers will discuss the current legal situation and its effects on the physical, mental, economic, and social health of people in the state, what the future might hold, and how voters can get involved:
--Cynthia Lin, Vice President of Women’s Medical Fund (WMF) Wisconsin and Deputy Director of Movement Building at the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF)
--Katrina Morrison, Director of Policy, Advocacy & Outreach at The Foundation for Black Women’s Wellness
--Nicole Safar, Executive Director of Law Forward
--Amy Williamson, Associate Director of the UW Collaborative for Reproductive Equity (UW CORE)
--Joy Cardin, League member and former Wisconsin Public Radio host, will moderate this event.
