Webinar Series
In 2022, SVA will host a year-long webinar series aimed at sharing perspectives from movements for change in the US and Global South. Through these conversations, we will discuss challenges and opportunities, ground our understanding of historical and current conditions, explore strategies, and put forward bold visions for transformation and building people’s power. We hope these exchanges will plant powerful seeds for frontline organizing.
POSTPONED - Reproductive Justice and Roe v. Wade
In March, to honor international Working Womens Day, we want to focus our podcast on uplifting the work of reproductive justice workers in the South.
We would like to extend an invitation for you to join us, Thursday March 24, from 1pm-2:30pm for a conversation about the history of Abortion funds and reproductive justice in the south, and a deep dive into the current attempts to roll back Roe V Wade – and how people can get involved to push back.
