- RHTP Webinar: Reproductive Health and the Environment: Making the Work Real

The Reproductive Health Technologies Project cordially invites you to participate in an interactive webinar to highlight the outstanding work of three organizations making strides on the links between environmental contaminants and reproductive health:

Reproductive Health and the Environment:

Making the Work Real

RHTP is hosting a web conference featuring three organizations at the forefront of dealing with the environmental impacts on reproductive health.

• Planned Parenthood of Connecticut helped to successfully pass one of the first state bans on Bisphenol-A (BPA).
• Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice fought to protect the health of nail salon workers and owners.
• MomsRising, a grassroots organization, experienced dramatic membership expansion as a result of their work on the links between toxic chemicals and health.

Representatives from these three incredible organizations will speak about their work around the mounting evidence that industrial chemicals are linked to infertility and a host of negative health outcomes such as early puberty, miscarriage, and reproductive cancers.

We invite you to participate in a web-briefing highlighting their experiences, as well as to share information about efforts that your organization has undertaken or wants to undertake on this important nexus of issues.

• When: Thursday, June 25th from 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. Eastern (10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Pacific)
• Who:
  • Gretchen Raffa, Planned Parenthood of Connecticut (*invited)
  • Dana Ginn Paredes, Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice (ACRJ)
  • Ariana Kelley, MomsRising

RSVP to Amanda Bowes at abowes@rhtp.org or 202-530-4401. Web conference materials will be provided the week of the briefing.

Please feel free to share this invitation with any staff at your organization that might benefit from this discussion.
