In honor of International Safe Abortion Day (September 28), we’re calling on our community to take action through conversation and storytelling.

Host a screening of ZURAWSKI V TEXAS and bring people together in your school, workplace, or neighborhood to spotlight the real-world impact of restrictive abortion laws. This powerful documentary follows a group of women suing the state of Texas after being denied life-saving abortion care — putting a human face on what’s at stake when access is stripped away.
