Agata Lisiak and Zsanai Epps

Organizing for Reproductive Justice

Tuesday, June 14, 2022
Online Event
9:30 am – 11:00 am EDT/GMT-4
9:30 AM New York l 3:30 PM Vienna

As the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies and spreads around the world in the “post-pandemic” era, threats to reproductive justice have grown, ranging from greater criminalization of abortion to baby formula shortages. It is evident that if we truly wish to provide equitable health, wellbeing, and dignity to all, women and nonbinary individuals must be at the forefront of emergency response efforts now and in the future.

Join the OSUN course, “Women and the Pandemic,” as it hosts Agata Lisiak and Zsanai Epps, who will discuss the community leaders who are fighting these challenging threats throughout the world. The multifaceted nature of reproductive justice will be discussed, as well as the tools needed to continue organizing for reproductive justice in all parts of life.

Moderator

Cammie Jones,
Women and the Pandemic Course Instructor
