Zoom (registration required – register HERE)

Join us for a zoom conversation about what’s at stake in a post-Roe United States. Our guests Dr. Susan Robinson and Luz Reyes-Martín will take us beyond the soundbites to discuss the impact of reversing Roe which ended the right to abortion upheld for five decades. 

What does this decision mean for maternal health and women’s wellbeing? What role does California play in providing access to all reproductive health services, including abortion? Why is abortion essential health care? And most importantly, what does the path forward look like and what can you do to protect reproductive freedom?
