Join us in person or via Zoom for an event focused on reproductive justice in Chicago featuring Natalie Moore, WBEZ journalist and author of the recently published play, The Billboard: A Play About Abortion. Set in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, The Billboard portrays Black women fighting for reproductive rights and autonomy as the local government seeks to shut them down. Natalie will be in conversation with Alicia Hurtado, Communications and Advocacy Manager at Chicago Abortion Fund.
In-person attendees will be required to wear a mask.
