DESCRIPTION:Defending Choice: Roe vs. Wade and the Battle to Preserve Women's 
 Reproductive Rights\n\nHosts: City Lights in conjunction w/ Mother Jones 
 Magazine - both in San Francisco\n\nDate and time: Tue, Aug 9, 2022 @ 6:00 
 PM PDT\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/defending-choice-roe-vs-wade-and-the-battle-to-preserve-womens-rights-tickets-354381634007\n\n\nWith 
 the reversal of Roe vs. Wade on the horizon and its dire consequences 
 threatening women’s rights and healthcare, City Lights and Mother Jones 
 Magazine bring together four of the most well-versed writers on the subject 
 for an immersive exploration. \n\nBeginning with how we got here, we will 
 explore the historical, legal, medical, and activist related aspects of Roe 
 vs. Wade. A special focus will be placed on the political and economic 
 issues at the heart of the battle for women’s rights. \n\nOur 
 participants will offer a deep analysis, exposing the connections between 
 the dismantling of Roe vs. Wade and the stripping of constitutional 
 protections that extend beyond the issue of women’s reproductive rights 
 and into campaign finance laws and beyond. \n\nWe will offer a barometer 
 for where the situation stands and how we can best fight to protect 
 women’s rights.\n\n\nPANELISTS:\n\nBecca Andrews is a journalist at 
 Mother Jones, where she writes about reproductive rights and gender. She is 
 a graduate of UC Berkeley’s School of Journalism; before attending school 
 there, she wrote for newspapers in her home state of Tennessee. Her book NO 
 CHOICE: The Destruction of Row Vs. Wade and the Fight to Protect a 
 Fundamental American Right will be published by Public Affairs Books in the 
 Fall of 2022.\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 is co-author of the Redstockings book Women’s 
 Liberation and National Health Care: Confronting the Myth of America. While 
 editor at Labor Notes magazine, she coauthored How to Jump-Start Your 
 Union: Lessons from the Chicago Teachers. She writes, teaches, and 
 organizes with the feminist group National Women’s Liberation and is the 
 author of Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight over Women’s Work. Verso Books 
 published her book WITHOUT APOLOGY: The Abortion Struggle Now.\n\nDr. 
 Katherine Brown is a general obstetrician-gynecologist and is 
 fellowship-trained in family planning at UCSF. She provides full-scope 
 reproductive healthcare. She is a passionate advocate for reproductive 
 health, choice, and justice. Her research focuses on exploring and 
 improving the reproductive health experiences of Black women.\n\nJoshua 
 Prager, a former senior writer for The Wall Street Journal, has written 
 about historical secrets—revealing all from the hidden scheme that led to 
 baseball’s most famous moment (Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard Round the 
 World”) to the only-ever anonymous recipient of a Pulitzer Prize (a 
 photographer he tracked down in Iran). His work, described by George Will 
 as “exemplary journalistic sleuthing,” has shed new light on our 
 cultural touchstones. So does his new book, The Family Roe, illuminating 
 unknown stories and people behind Roe v. Wade, and enabling the public, for 
 the first time, to see the abortion debate in America in its full social 
 and personal context. The book was a finalist for the Pulitzer 
 Prize.\n\nMary Ziegler is the Stearns Weaver Miller Professor at Florida 
 State University College of Law. She specializes in the legal history of 
 reproduction, the family, sexuality, and the Constitution. In the spring of 
 2022, she is visiting at Harvard Law School. Her most recent book, Abortion 
 and the Law in America: A Legal History, Roe v. Wade to the Present, was 
 published by Cambridge University Press in 2020, and received positive 
 reviews in outlets from the Washington Post to the Christian Science 
 Monitor. Her new book, Dollars for Life: The Antiabortion Movement and the 
 Fall of the Republican Establishment, will be published by Yale University 
 Press in June of 2022. She also has a forthcoming book with Routledge, 
 Reproduction and the Constitution. Her next project, What Roe Means: A 
 History, will be published by Yale in 2023.\n
