🌹 Socialist Night School: Reproductive Justice

In recent weeks, we’ve learned that The U.S. Supreme Court has drafted opinions to overturn the standards set in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. It’s undeniable that losing these protections is a devastating blow to the working class. But, in truth, our obligation as socialists to the working class only begins with our fight for Roe. 

What would it look like for the working class to be in control of family planning and our reproductive lives? Where do our chapter priorities and Medicare for All campaigns intersect with reproductive justice? And where might socialists as a whole be falling short?

Join us as we explore all of these questions and more with a special guest appearance from EBDSA’s own Jasmine from the Medicare for All committee.
