Help us celebrate 50 years of advancing gender justice in Pennsylvania and beyond at our golden birthday bash featuring special guest Lizz Winstead!
Co-creator and head writer of “The Daily Show,” co-founder of Air America Radio, and currently boss lady at Abortion Access Front, Lizz uses humor to destigmatize abortion and expose the sinister plans, eye-popping hypocrisies, and general nonsense of anti-abortion efforts to deny us reproductive freedom. Lizz reminds us all it’s not only OKAY to feel joy and have fun while fighting for our rights, it’s A GOOD THING. We like good things! We are thrilled that Lizz will be joining us as featured speaker, and we know you will love it too.
Will you help us celebrate our birthday AND power our plans to protect and advance reproductive freedom, LGBTQ equality and gender justice in Pennsylvania?
