About this event

  • 3 hours

How do we balance the needs of direct service provision with grassroots action to expand legal protections for abortion? How has the explosion of self-managed abortion changed the priorities for activists? How do we continue to support abortion funds while demanding more state support for reproductive healthcare? How do we effectively stand up to a growing extremist movement seeking to ban abortion nationwide, enshrine "fetal personhood" laws that will further the policing of pregnancy, 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 protect abortion access and LGBTQ+ rights, please join for this facilitated discussion on the first morning of the Socialism Conference.

All attendees are required to wear a mask when not eating or drinking. The Covid policy at this strategy session follows the policy for the rest of the Socialism conference.

This event is free.

Lunch will not be provided but the event will end at 1pm, giving attendees two hours before the start of the Socialism conference.
