DESCRIPTION:Join writer and activist Emily Janakiram, activist and author Jenny Brown, 
 and Mexico-based abortion activist Lluvia “Rayito” del Rayo Rocha Perez 
 for a conversation on the history and future of the struggle for abortion 
 rights and reproductive freedom. \n\nDate and time: Thu, October 14, 2021 @

 1973, the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion 
 in the United States. This is usually where the story begins and ends. 
 \n\nBut legal abortion was not handed down by the courts, it was won in the 
 streets through years of grassroots mobilizations and political organizing 
 led by activists during the Women’s Liberation movement. \n\nWith all 
 eyes on Texas, where the state legislature has passed a devastating 6-week 
 abortion ban, today’s abortion rights movement must again take to the 
 streets to turn back a wave of rightwing attacks on abortion 
 access.\n\n***Register through Eventbrite to receive a link to the video 
 conference on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and 
 have live captioning.***\n\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nJenny Brown was a leader in the 
 fight to get the morning-after pill over the counter in the US and a 
 plaintiff in the winning lawsuit. She writes, teaches, and organizes with 
 the feminist group National Women’s Liberation and is the author of 
 Without Apology:The Abortion Struggle Now and Birth Strike: The Hidden 
 Fight over Women’s Work.\n\nLluvia (“Rayito”) del Rayo Rocha Perez is 
 an activist for abortion rights in Juarez, Mexico where the federal court 
 recently decriminalized abortion under pressure from mobilizations of 
 activists.\n\nEmily Janakiram is a writer and member of New York City for 
 Abortion Rights.\n\n
