Fighting for Our Lives: Abortion and Trans Rights Under Attack

Join us for a live streamed session from the Socialism 2023 conference, in Chicago. ——————————————————————— The attacks on abortion access and trans existence are coming from the same Christian nationalist far-right playbook. The legal challenges and intimidation campaigns against those seeking reproductive and trans healthcare are coordinated incursions on our right to control our bodies and our lives. How can we connect our two movements more concretely to effectively fight our common enemy and advance bodily autonomy for all? ——————————————————————— Speakers Mary Bowman (they/them) is an associate nursing professor and nurse practitioner, specialized in sexual and reproductive health. They provide abortions and gender-affirming care. Anne Rumberger is a member of Chicago for Abortion Rights and NYC for Abortion Rights. Her writing on reproductive politics has appeared in Jacobin, Salvage, Science for the People and Lux.
