7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Over Google Meet
We'll kick off our June meeting with a special guest! We'll hear from Jenny Dodson Mistry, State Repro Hub Director, for a walk through the State Repro Hub, a new website from the State Alignment Lab that is designed to make the day's work of a state advocate in repro a little lighter and more connected. We'll learn how to use the site and how to draw upon the resources available at SAL. Then, Jenny will facilitate a brief conversation about the best ways that national organizations like SAL and their partners can support BKForge's work.
With the legislative session drawing to a close in early June, we'll also use this meeting to discuss the status of our priority bills, debrief on the session overall, and discuss end-of-session outreach to our elected officials.
New task force members are always welcome. Please email contactbkforge@gmail.com for the link to join.

This February, BKForge continued our tradition of coming together to show our love for independent abortion clinics. Over 30 supporters came out in the bitter cold to craft valentines for the healthcare heroes who sacrifice so much for reproductive freedom.
This fall and spring, BKForge joined forces with Men4Choice and Brooklyn Young Democrats to research fake clinics (aka crisis pregnancy centers). Learn more using Abortion Access Front's tools, which we adapted for our event.
In September, 40 attendees joined BKForge for our live Q&A event with Jessica Valenti, bestselling author and founder of Abortion, Every Day. Check out the full recording and recap.
