The Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Center is pleased to host New York Times best-selling author Jessica Valenti to launch her new book, Abortion: Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win, which shines a light on the latest assaults on reproductive freedom. From the attacks Americans know about, to the ones anti-abortion lawmakers and groups are trying to hide, Valenti details the tactics and horrors that she’s been painstakingly tracking in her acclaimed newsletter, Abortion, Every Day. She will be joined in conversation by former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, New York Times best-selling author, and host of Crooked Media's Hysteria podcast, Alyssa Mastromonaco. NYU Law’s Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law and BWLC Faculty Director Melissa Murray and Pregnancy Justice's Legal Director, Karen Thompson will give remarks. We will be also be joined by New Yorkers For Equal Rights for a brief discussion on Proposal 1 on the 2024 ballot.
Books will be available for purchase and a post-discussion signing.
This event is cosponsored by Pregnancy Justice and the NYU Law Chapter of If/When/How Lawyering for Reproductive Justice.
