Reproductive Health Access Group
First 2026 Meeting Sunday, January 11 at 3:00 PM on Zoom
Our group has historically focused on education about legislators’ positions on reproductive health, access, and actions that support reproductive health access in our area, including assembling aftercare kits for people who have had abortions.
This dual focus of education and advocacy raises our awareness and allows us to do tangible action to make a difference. Come for either or both of these priorities. We meet biweekly on Zoom and occasionally in person for actions.
