<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the mission of Sister Song<\/a>, a Woman of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, the 2nd Annual Temple Women’s Conference<\/strong> asks what reproductive freedom looks like beyond restoring Roe<\/em>? How can we implement the values of reproductive justice in our communities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Please join us for a gender inclusive conference and open discussion<\/strong> about such questions, with a focus on exploring the values of reproductive justice, the importance of inclusive health practices, and building coalitions across organizations. The hybrid conference (in-person or online) includes two morning panels<\/strong>, starting with a panel comprised of Temple University undergraduate student groups followed by a panel on birthing practices, and an afternoon panel<\/strong> centered on abortion access.<\/p>\n<\/div>
