About the Event

Dahlia Lithwick (bio), a Canadian-American journalist and Slate editor who has been covering the American Supreme Court for 20 years, will address the attack that has been taking place on women's reproductive rights in legislatures and courts across the land, culminating in President Trump becoming the first American president to attend the March for Life, an annual anti-abortion rally that has been held in DC for the past 47 years to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. To counteract this anti-woman movement, Lithwick will urge American women to engage in “civic visibility": to see and be seen by their representatives, in op-ed columns, and at the ballot box. 

Pascale Bernard (bio), Vice President of Community Organizing and Political Affairs for Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, will offer the perspective of a trained social worker and advocate for women’s reproductive health, on Lithwick’s lecture.

The event begins with a half-hour reception (from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.), followed by the lecture and discussion (6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.). Livestream coverage will begin shortly before 6:30 p.m.
