I’m moderating an expert discussion on Roe

Join me next Tuesday. It’s free!   [Mother Jones]( MoJo Reader, As a Mother Jones reporter covering reproductive rights and the author of a [soon to be released book]( on the topic, I understand how much we’ve all been rocked by the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. With all the uncertainty, anger, and fear the ruling spawned, I also know a lot of people are eager to learn what comes next at the local, state, and federal levels. That’s why I’m excited to invite you to join me for a special online event on Tuesday, August 9: “Defending Choice: Roe v. Wade and the Battle to Preserve Women’s Reproductive Rights.” Registration is capped at 500 attendees, so [sign up today and join for free on Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT](. The late start time on the East Coast is because we partnered up with City Lights bookstore in San Francisco, and I hope you can make it because I'll be moderating a discussion with some of the country’s top experts and authors on reproductive rights. We’ll explore what brought us to this moment and how we may protect women’s reproductive rights in the future.

Wade; and - Mary Ziegler, a law professor at Florida State University, where she specializes in reproduction law, and is the author of Abortion and the Law in America: A Legal History, Roe v. Wade to the Present. Tuesday, August 9 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT This Zoom event is co-sponsored by City Lights, an independent bookstore in San Francisco, and is open to the public.
