Support vital abortion stigma busting efforts today!
DONATEThis week’s Spacious Solidarity dialogue surrounds the topics of storytelling and narrative change for abortion stories. Renee Bracey Sherman and Camila Ochoa Mendoza lead us through a conversation that centers people who have had abortions, delving into the richness, power and essentialness of abortion stories and leadership of people who have had abortions. The discussants touch on intersectionality, economic justice, racism, and the ways that these are all connected to the narratives and experiences of people who had abortions.

Thank you Camila and Renee for providing a space to reflect and build- dismantle- and – rebuild our mutual understanding of what it means to bust abortion stigma.
