La Lucha Sigue, 37 Years After Roe

Join the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health as we commemorate the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade with a happy hour featuring delicious Latin American wine and hors d'oeuvres. As we honor this milestone in the fight for women's lives and health, we are also aware of how far we are from the promise of Roe. This event will be an opportunity for reproductive justice and rights advocates to gather and reflect on the struggle to ensure a world in which every woman is able to make her own decision free of danger, fear, and stigma.  Legalizing abortion was an important step forward. Join us in solidarity against the setbacks within the health care reform debate!

Date: Thursday, January 28, 2010
Time: 5:30-7:30pm
Location: Financial District, New York, New York 10004 (exact location of the event will be emailed to you separately)
