Join RISE and Healthy and Free Tennessee for a Pregnancy Decriminalization Teach-In on November 15th from 6-8. 

When we say "pregnancy criminalization" we are talking about the ways in which people face punishment for the outcomes of their pregnancies, including abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, or live birth. 

The goals for the teach-in include: 

• Define how reproductive justice and abolition work are intertwined 

• Articulate the danger and harms of pregnancy criminalization 

• Assess resource availability and gaps for the Tri Cities 

• Talk about resisting pregnancy criminalization 

• Build resource hubs for Tri Cities in communities that are typically on the front lines of pregnancy criminalization and are more likely to experience state surveillance during (and after) their pregnancies

Food will be provided!

Registration encouraged, but not required.
