The Opposite of Control: Liberating After Dobbs
Two years since the Dobbs decision and the ensuing cross-state legislation, we as a people of faith recommit to reproductive justice. Come hear from our Reproductive Justice Team and the actions we can take now to ensure all people have the right to parent, the right not to parent, and the right to raise children in a healthy and safe environment.
Join the conversation on Beacon’s Slack channel #sundaychat.
