Join us for our October Tzedek Salon on the current climate of reproductive health, rights, and justice with Dr. Jennifer Childs-Roshak, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and President of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts.
We’ve just marked the fortieth year anniversary of the passage of the Hyde Amendment, which denies coverage of abortion care for patients who rely on Medicaid and disproportionately impacts low-income individuals. This is just one example of the many discriminatory hurdles that still exist for those seeking reproductive health care. Join us and the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts to learn about the current national climate on reproductive health and rights and what the Advocacy Fund is doing locally to turn Massachusetts into a national leader on these issues.
We are thrilled to partner with the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts on this event!
Space is wheelchair accessible. Light snacks will be provided. For all other accessibility needs and questions, contact hannah.jalsa@gmail.com.
