Happy hour next Thursday, 9/30, 6-9pm
Hey there,
The next Repro Health Happy Hour will be next Thursday, September 30th at The Magician on the Lower East Side (118 Rivington, corner of Essex). Come on down, it's been too long.
As added incentive, our DC colleagues are gathering on the same evening (the RHHH empire expands!), so we can send each other emails of "cheers" and solidarity from our handheld devices as we mingle in our all too disconnected cities.
Also, we're expanding the host committee for the Repro Health Happy Hour and hoping to branch into all kinds of new fangled technology like the Facebook and the Twitter. More to come on that front.
Hope to see you next week!
Leila and (a soon to be announced team of fabulous co-hosts)

An antidote to powerlessness, it has inspired thousands of citizens to make their voices heard and actions count.

Reproductive Justice in Action Panel
March 3, 2010, 6:30 pm
Sulzberger Parlor, 3rd Floor Barnard Hall
Barnard College
3009 Broadway (at 117th Street)
New York, NY
This panel will feature a group of reproductive justice activists and birth doulas who work across the spectrum of pregnancy, birth, and women's health, connecting the traditional reproductive rights movement with new social justice activism that considers the complete physical, political, and economic well-being of girls and women. Birth doulas, as trained sources of physical, emotional, and educational support, work to empower women and support their reproductive choices. How does childbirth fit into the discussion around reproductive rights, a discussion that is often based around access to abortion and contraception? How can the reproductive justice framework help us consider institutional barriers, such as racism and poverty, that have limited women's empowerment and decision-making when it comes to their reproductive health?
Panelists include:
Aisha Domingue, doula coordinator at the Brooklyn Young Mothers' Collective
Mary Mahoney, assistant director of the Pro-Choice Public Education Project and co-founder and co-coordinator of the Doula Project
Lauren Mitchell, health educator and co-founder and co-coordinator of the Doula Project
Miriam Pérez, founder and sole blogger at RadicalDoula.com and editor at Feministing.com.
This event is FREE and open to the public.
