We are very excited to announce the A is For Abortion Book Club (ABC)! 

Over the next year, we will read four immediately relevant and vitally informative books about reproductive justice and abortion access, and then gather to discuss them with authors and experts.  The first book we will be reading is Bodies on the Line: At the Front Lines of the Fight to Protect Abortion in America by Lauren Rankin. 

Incisive and eye-opening, Bodies on the Line makes a clear case that the right to an abortion is a fundamental part of human dignity. And now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade, the stakes facing us all if that right disappears have never been higher.

Clinic escorts — everyday volunteers who shepherd patients safely inside to receive care — are fighting on the front lines by replacing hostility with humanity. Prepared to stand up and protect abortion access as they have for decades, even in the face of terrorism and violence, clinic escorts live—and have even died—to ensure that abortion remains not only accessible but a basic human right. Their stories have never been told—until now.

We will be meeting to discuss this book on Wednesday, June 12th from 7:00-8:30 EDT with Lauren present to answer your questions. All book meetings are virtual.
