Meet JANE
Are you worried about women's access to abortion? You should be! Heather Booth was a founder of JANE – the underground, feminist abortion service that existed from 1969 to 1973 which consisted of over 100 members who provided more than 11,000 illegal abortions in Chicago. The Brian MacKenzie Infoshop, Visions in Feminism, and the Down There Health Collective invite you to hear Booth speak about the struggle for reproductive rights, then and now. The talk will be followed by a discussion on the current anti-choice climate and what we can learn from the story of JANE. Requested admission is a $3 to $5 donation to benefit the Visions in Feminism Conference.
When: Wednesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. Where: Brian MacKenzie Infoshop (1426 Ninth St. NW) More info: events@dcinfoshop.org or 202/986-0681
