Lack of access to safe, timely, affordable and respectful abortion care poses a risk to the physical, mental and social well-being of pregnant people across the country.
In Massachusetts and in other states, there are clear racial and ethnic disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes.
You have no doubt heard these facts before. We invite you to delve beyond the headlines by exploring the many ways that reproductive autonomy and maternal health impact not only people's lives but entire communities and overall child well-being. We will have the privilege of being joined by Jenny Ma of the Center for Reproductive Rights, Rebecca Hart Holder of Reproductive Equity Now, Lilly Marcelin of the Resilient Sisterhood Project, and Nashira Baril of the Neighborhood Birth Center.
This interactive conversation will focus on education, policy and advocacy as key levers for change, and will feature the voices and expertise of partners who bring national, state, local and grassroots perspectives.
