Hello!
Vox is hosting a guest speaker on October 22d at
7:00 pm in the Park Library Auditorium, and we think that some of your
members might be interested. Jan Wilberg is renowned social
activist who had an illegal abortion while she was a student at CMU. Jan wrote
about her experience on Salon.com and her post garnered more that 100,000
views. Her essay is a flashback to another time, when abortion was illegal and
hard to obtain. She tells her story to remind the public why safe and legal
abortion is crucial to women.
After Jan speaks there will be
an opportunity for other women to tell their abortion stories in a
safe and welcoming environment. Anyone who makes the space feel unsafe or
unwelcoming will be asked to leave by campus security. 1 in 3 women will have
an abortion in her lifetime. Abortion is a commonplace procedure, and it
is time that we remove the stigma surrounding it.
I have attached the flier for our event. I would
love if you could forward this email and the flier to your members.
If you have any other questions please let me
know. You can contact me at this email or by phone at 989-751-1494.
Thank you,
Marie Reimers
Vice-President
