DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR: Reproductive Freedom in the time of COVID-19\n\nWHEN: May 7, 2020 
 @ 5 PM PT (8 PM ET) \n\nWHERE: Online via Zoom, please RSVP at very bottom 
 link below\n\nPlease join The Women's March and Vote Pro Choice for a 
 webinar discussing the fight for reproductive freedom in this time. An 
 expert panel will cover the status of COVID abortion bans in various 
 states, the upcoming Supreme Court ruling in June and more. Additionally 
 the panel will provide solutions for those working to access services and 
 other practical actions we can all take.\n\nWHY?\n\nRepublicans are 
 exploiting this crisis to limit access to reproductive health care and 
 advance their anti-abortion agenda. After long legal battles, abortion 
 rights in Ohio, Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas have been restored, but 
 temporary bans are still in place in West Virginia and currently pending in 
 Mississippi.\n\nWe can’t emphasize enough how much permanent damage these 
 attacks will have if we don’t fight back hard and fast.\n\nClinics that 
 were forced to shut down don’t know if they’ll financially be able to 
 re-open later on. More and more conservative states are feeling emboldened 
 to use emergency measures to strip away access to abortion services. It 
 sets a dangerous precedent that will continue to hurt us even after this 
 crisis ends.\n\nIf we keep organizing and cranking up the pressure, we can 
 make sure every state that’s taking advantage of this crisis to attack 
 abortion rights is held accountable.\n\nPANELISTS:\n\n--Rep. Celia Israel, 
 Texas House of Representatives\n\n--Brianna Twofoot Boulette, National 
 Organizing Director, Planned Parenthood Action Fund\n\n--Jordan Goldberg, 
 Director of Policy, National Institute of Reproductive Health\n\n--Mary 
 Drummer, Campaign Manager at MoveOn.org\n\n--Heidi Sieck, CEO at
