ABORTION AF & THE FEMINIST BUZZKILLS PRESENT A LIVE, LOUD, HANDS-ON CONVERSATION AND WORKSHOP
Abortion Access Front and the Feminist Buzzkills podcast are bringing Operation Save Abortion to YOU—live at Netroots Nation!
This ain’t your momma’s panel. It’s a full-blown action lab led by Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El, and the AAF crew who turn rage into real results. We’ll start with the human stories of the providers on the ground and show you why connection is the core of activism.
This fun and interactive session will be led by your Feminist Buzzkills podcast hosts Lizz Winstead, Moji Alawode-El, and the AAF badasses who create our actions. It will begin with sharing experiences that show how working directly with providers and patients is crucial to abortion activism, followed by a workshop that trains attendees to take several of our programs and put them into motion right away. We’ll offer opportunities ranging from building post-abortion care packages to protecting patients from fake clinics to confronting anti-abortion lawmakers with creative, hilarious, and bold actions. There are ways to participate for all levels of ability. No experience necessary—just a commitment to showing up and fighting like hell.
There’s something for every kind of activist: introverts, extroverts, artists, organizers, and anyone ready to show up with heart. Come channel that fury into joyful resistance—and leave with tools, community, and your next move.
