DESCRIPTION:Want to learn how about women’s health access in the age of Trump - 
 specifically abortion? Want to meet like-minded people in technology and 
 social change?\n\nProtecting people access to reproductive health care is 
 more important than ever. Despite a political climate that claims 
 otherwise, choice is the American way. We are in the heart of tech and 
 progressive culture - the perfect environment for creating innovative 
 solutions for reproductive justice.\n\nJoin us for an evening of lively 
 discussions from the co-founders and participants of the Abortion Access 
 Hackathon. Mingle with passionate allies, with free drinks and snacks. RSVP 
 required.\n\nAgenda\n\n• Panel Discussion with Somer, Kate and Tessa: The 
 gaps in the democratic party - where we are in the fight for reproductive 
 rights and access? Where are the areas of opportunity?\n\n• Abortion 
 Access Hackathon: What is it? What projects are moving forward? What did we 
 learn from this type of collaboration?\n\n• Q&A\n\nMix and Mingle - free 
 refreshments and drinks provided\n\nAbout the Panelists:\n\nKate Bertash is 
 a reproductive right security professional who spent most of her career in 
 tech scaling logistics startups after working in the nonprofit sector. A 
 self-professed tech regulatory nerd, she keeps herself busy organizing with 
 local women's professional, civic tech, and futurist groups in SF, and 
 spends her free time hacking and fundraising for abortion access with the 
 Abortion Access Hackathon.\n\nA designer for apps and games, Somer Loen 
 volunteers her time with civil rights groups. Building bridges between tech 
 and activism, she co-organizes the Abortion Access Hackathon. Managing 
 grassroots mobilization at the National Organization for Women - San 
 Francisco chapter, Somer helped to pass landmark legislation regulating 
 crisis pregnancy centers in SF. \n\nTessa Alexanian is a professional 
 robot-whisperer, former bay area pun-off champion, ex-sailor of tall ships, 
 occasional event staff, and chronically overenthused. Since the SF Abortion 
 Access hackathon, she has been working to make Guttmacher's abortion policy 
 data available via API.\n\nWilson Restrepo is your run-of-the-mill SF code 
 monkey. Since the election, he’s served as a henchman for progressive 
 tech initiatives: he was part of a team formed at SF Debug Politics that 
 built helloGov, a calling campaign platform, and he helped organize 
 engineers around a culture of service and inclusiveness at the SF Abortion 
 Access Hackathon. \n
