This panel will address the challenges that abortion seekers and providers have faced since the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, focusing on how we’ve persisted in the fight for reproductive justice.

We’ll explore:

• The current political landscape in Pennsylvania and its impact on reproductive healthcare.
• The role of education in helping communities understand the legislative process affecting their reproductive rights.
• The power of storytelling and sharing personal experiences in shaping public perception and advocacy.
