Join NCJW NY’s Jews for Repro NY campaign for a virtual conversation bringing together U.S.-based reproductive rights advocate Natalie Birnbaum of Repro Solutions and RHITES and Israeli advocate Dina Shalev of Lada’at. Natalie and Dina will explore the current landscape for abortion access and reproductive rights in both countries. Together, they will discuss the legal and political challenges shaping care on the ground, the ways advocates are responding, and what this moment demands from communities committed to reproductive freedom. Kalela Lancaster, NCJW’s Israel Director, will join the conversation to add perspective on the evolving Israeli context and help connect the dialogue across borders, values, and strategies for action.
