Wednesday November 9, 7:00 - 9:00 PM on Zoom

Sponsored by All Souls Church, Cedar Lane UU Church, and the UU Congregation Fairfax

Note: even if you cannot attend, RSVP below to stay in the loop!  

UUs have long been faith leaders in the struggle for reproductive health and rights in this country, and the current situation post-Dobbs calls us to a deeper level of engagement. . How can we engage in ways that build a stronger, sustainable interfaith movement for reproductive health, rights, and justice?  How can we engage in ways that center and support leadership from communities of color? How can we engage in ways that help us all transform and adapt to the times we are in?

The event starts with a feature presentation on Understanding the Intersections: Reproductive Justice and Racial Justice, led by Jeryl Hayes, JD, LL.M. Jeryl (she/her) is the Movement Building Director at If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice, and co-founder of All Souls Reproductive Freedom Project. The presentation will explore the concepts of reproductive justice, racial justice, and movement building so all people have the power to determine if, when, and how to sustain families with dignity and to actualize sexual and reproductive wellbeing on their own terms. We will then have some time for theological reflection, community building, and an overview of organizing needs and opportunities for work in the DMV.
