As this hellish election year begins, SYA is VERY interested in talking about building pathways to reproductive freedom for all, regardless of what courts and politicians are doing. Abortion Beyond the Law explores the way that SMA networks all over the world have created functional systems of abortion access using peer-to-peer support, harm reduction models, mutual aid, and a commitment to brave, loving solidarity. This book proposes that not only are these models what we must look to in this moment of institutional crisis, but that these models offer us an opportunity to build a better world than the one that these dying institutions failed to deliver. Please join us to talk about abortion beyond the law, and how the future of abortion belongs to us.  Naomi Braine is a Professor of Sociology at Brooklyn College, CUNY. Prior to joining the faculty at Brooklyn, she worked in the non-profit research sector on issues of drug use and HIV, and consulted for community based organizations. Her political and intellectual work addresses gender, sexuality, reproductive justice, wars on drugs and terror, and health and collective action. Her current work, as an activist and a research investigator, is centered on self-managed abortion.  ","author_name":"Abortion Academy with SYA","author_url":"https:\/\/sites.libsyn.com\/478956","html":"
