WHAT YOU CAN DO (cont'd.)
C. Provide Resource Contacts
GUEST SPEAKERS
If you are having an event, consider bringing in local people whose
lives have been affected by the events portrayed in FROM the BACK ALLEYS
to the SUPREME COURT & BEYOND. Perhaps they could share their
memories before or after a screening or broadcast of the films. These guests
might include clergy who counseled women seeking illegal abortions, physicians
who treated women injured by illegal abortions, and women who sought back-alley
abortions prior to 1973, before abortion was decriminalized. You
might also include people who have had legal abortions, or those who have
had experiences with parental consent laws. You could invite people
who work in clinics which provide abortion services now.
CONTACT LISTS OF ORGANIZATIONS
Compile and distribute a resource list that describes the mission and
services provided by organizations supportive of reproductive rights in
your community. We have compiled a list of various national organizations
which support women's and reproductive rights. Many of these groups have
local chapters. In addition to other local resources in your community,
you might provide phone numbers and addresses for local branches of these
organizations.
INTERNET SITES
At each of these sites, you will find information,
as well as links to other sites.
