We partnered with Chicago Abortion Fund for a workshop on “How to Talk About Abortion," where attendees will learn messaging strategies for how to effectively discuss abortion and abortion access.
The goal of this workshop was to encourage participants to feel confident having open and honest discussions with friends and relatives who may not agree with them, which is important to addressing and eliminating abortion stigma.

We joined Rae Guerra-Lorenzo with Indigenous Women Rising for a workshop focused on "Reproductive Justice Through an Indigenous Lens.”
Participants explored the history of reproductive justice and how it has intersected with colonialism and white supremacy. Guerra-Lorenzo also highlighted Indigenous reproductive justice leaders and practices.
Tuesday, December 14 @ 6pm
Chinyere “Chi Chi” Okwu, Executive Director of EverThrive Illinois, introduced the work that EverThrive does in employing the Reproductive Justice framework to ensure people from communities most impacted by injustice have the access, resources, health care, and choice to create and sustain healthy families on their own terms.
The conversation highlighted how EverThrive IL partners with communities, builds the capacity of systems, and advances policies to achieve their vision.
Chi Chi also covered what attendees can do to address racial and economic inequity in our health care ecosystem.
