Still We Rise: Understanding the Current State of Reproductive Justice post-Roe v. Wade and How to Get Involved with Janielle Bryan

In June 2022 the U.S. Supreme Court officially reversed Roe v. Wade in a historic and startling decision that surprised many. This declared that the constitutional right to abortion, upheld for nearly a half century, could be rolled back immediately in nearly half of the country. As states rush to pass legislations, this raises questions and concerns for many during this confusing time. Join us we unpack the current state of abortion access and reproductive rights here in PA and how election outcomes might impact abortion rights. Also, we'll discuss strategies for those who want to get involved in reproductive justice and advocacy work.
