A Night for Youth Reproductive Justice
Date: Saturday, March 25 Time: 6-9:30pm Location: The Diana Center 3009 Broadway New York, NY 10027
To celebrate the power of youth organizing and fight back against the growing right-wing attacks on young people's bodily autonomy, we are hosting A Night for Youth Reproductive Justice on the evening of Saturday, March 25 at the Diana Event Oval on Barnard College's campus.
We will bring together youth organizers, elected representatives, visual and musical artists, performers, and local activists to speak to and raise awareness about the rising attacks on young people's bodily autonomy – such as limiting access to gender-affirming care, restricting sex education, and the exceptionalizing of abortion care at on-campus clinics.
