Join us for a night of very short, very timely presentations about reproductive justice!
Our goal is to fill a room with people who are passionate about reproductive justice and raise money for abortion access (and maybe even learn something new along the way!). We have chosen 5 abortion funds to split the funds between (more info below). We will also be releasing our new zine, which is a collection of true stories of people’s experiences with seeking an abortion.
Presentations will cover topics like:
★ Abortion pills: Where to find them, how they work, etc.
★ Pregnancy for trans men
★ Protecting your privacy when getting an abortion
★ Reproductive justice activism
★ The intersections of reproductive justice and race, class, prisons, art, etc.
. . . and more!
We can't wait to see you there.
