   Reproductive Justice Walking Tour 

 

Cindy Cooper of Words of Choice brought together actors, clergy, historians, and activists on a Reproductive Justice Walking Tour in NYC on June 7th, 2014. Sites in Lower Manhattan involved performances on the street, historical sites, current politics, and a Reproductive Justice Fair at the end at Judson Church where Rev. Moody started the Clergy Consultation Service to help women find abortion services prior to legalization. Watch this great 13 min. movie on the Walking Tour:
