Post Roe Realities: Disability & Reproductive Rights (Webinar One)

This was the first of a two-part webinar series on how the fall of Roe v Wade directly impacts the disability community and what we can do to take action. It was organized by Planned Parenthood Illinois Action; University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)’s Institute on Disability & Human Development, UIC Disability Cultural Center, and UIC Women’s Leadership & Resource Center; Disability Lead; National Network of Abortion Funds; and Chicagoland Disabled People of Color Coalition.

The first webinar features a video introduction by U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth as well as speakers from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Equip for Equality, who informed us of our rights in Illinois. During the second webinar, we learn from activists from Access Living, National Network of Abortion Funds, and Planned Parenthood Illinois Action on how we can take action as a community.
