Heart-to-Heart Abortion Conversations
April 21st at 5pm CT 6pm EST
Virtual & In-Person Heart-to-Heart Abortion Conversations event led by Unitarian-Universalist Church of Indianapolis, Unitarian-Universalist Church of Urbana-Champaign (UUCUC), and Grandmothers for Reproductive Rights! (GRR) Register for Location or Zoom Link: https://forms.gle/MUoqSX5gQTjL36uc6
Heart-to-Heart Abortion Conversations invite you to share deeply your thoughts and values about abortion access. Having a “heart-to-heart” means listening just as deeply to the thoughts and feelings of others. Dialogue, storytelling, and intentional conversations are powerful tools to organize and strengthen our movement. Heart-to-Heart Abortion Conversations are designed to serve as a catalyst to grow your leadership, deepen connections, and make abortion access a reality. By tapping into love and empathy, speaking from our values, and seeking to understand and really hear about others, we will be able to connect and build relationships, even when we don’t agree on everything about abortion.
