“Liberty in Motion: Our Watershed Moment”: Defending Reproductive Healthcare and LGBTQ+ Rights

Date: May 22nd

At a moment in history when our bodily autonomy is under attack, feminist and LGBTQ+ movements are called on to show up for our transgender community members and protect reproductive healthcare. Join us for the fourth and final installation of our annual town hall series, “Liberty in Motion: Our Watershed Moment” to learn about the policies that will ensure all New Yorkers are treated equitably and to learn what you can do on the eve of pride month to help defend reproductive freedoms and LGBTQ+ rights. Topics will include legislation to protect healthcare providers who offer access to abortions and gender affirming care, an update on the implementation of New York's recent Prop 1 amendment (the New York State “Equal Rights Amendment”), and insight into the local landscape of LGBTQ+ rights in Nassau County.

“Liberty in Motion: Our Watershed Moment” is a four-part Town Hall Series centering conversation on the action we can take to protect and promote equity in our own communities faced with unprecedented threats. Throughout the series, Arlo Fleischer, Organizer of the Nassau County New York Civil Liberties Union will facilitate local and statewide advocacy and policy panelists many of whom have lived experience and are experts in their field. The series is co-hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock.
