We Dissent: Reproductive Freedoms Lost & How to Take Them Back
May 8 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Please join the League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area on Wednesday, May 8th, 2024, from 6 – 7:15 PM as it hosts an exciting virtual panel featuring Louis Virelli, Professor of Law at Stetson College of Law, and Alyssa Morrison, Reproductive Rights Justice Staff Attorney at Lawyers for Good Government. These constitutional law experts will take us through an accelerated timeline of the federal and state events that restricted our reproductive freedoms and discuss where these freedoms may be headed next. While our panelist are legal experts, there’s no need for you to be an expert to attend. Please come prepared with questions to ask during the live Q&A. You can also submit questions you would like the panelists to cover prior to the event here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/G2NCV8H.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy. For women, a right to choose is a fundamental right that impacts all civic decisions. Without the ability to make reproductive decisions for one’s own body, women and those who can become pregnant cannot participate equally in our democracy. The League of Women Voters of Florida Board of Directors has voted to support Floridians Protecting Freedom’s #YesOn4 citizen initiative effort.
