“The Janes” Documentary Screening and Reproductive Rights Discussion

Back when abortion was illegal in Illinois in the '60s and '70s, The Jane Collective, an underground network of reproductive rights activists, helped provide low-cost and free abortions to more than 10,000 women. You can learn more about their efforts—and how you can help the present-day fight for abortion rights now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned—at this documentary screening in Holstein Park, which will feature a showing of the HBO doc The Janes as well as a discussion with original members of The Jane Collective and producer David Arcana. The event is free, but bring a blanket or chair for watching the movie.
