As we grapple with the shifting landscape of reproductive rights in America, a conversation on how we move forward has never been more essential. The day after the election, our CEO Bia Vieira spoke on LAist 89.3 about the stark realities we’re facing: a country divided not just by policy but by access to fundamental rights. California remains a sanctuary for reproductive health care, yet even here, we are stretched thin, managing an influx of people seeking the very care denied to them elsewhere. This is not just a story of access; it’s a story of resilience and what it takes to prepare for the long game in the fight for justice.
As Bia pointed out, it’s not enough to brace for the current challenges—we must plan for the future cycles of advocacy, policy, and, most crucially, the stories that shape public perception. It is through the power of storytelling that we find the seeds of change, and this is why we are inviting you to join us for an event that aims to reframe the conversation around reproductive justice.
On November 19th, we are hosting “Liberating Abortion: A Radical Dialogue with Activist, Abortion Storyteller & Writer Renee Bracey Sherman.” This isn’t just an event; it’s an intervention in the national discourse. Renee and Bia will peel back the layers of how criminalization, systemic racism, and deeply embedded misinformation have historically shaped the conversation around reproductive freedom.
This dialogue, steering the discussion toward a future where justice isn’t just aspirational but foundational. This is an opportunity to confront uncomfortable truths and imagine a landscape where abortion rights and access are not just protected but liberated.
The future of reproductive rights depends not just on the policies we defend but on the stories we uplift. Join us in shaping a narrative that pushes beyond access and toward liberation.
