#firestormcoop — Public Fediverse posts

This Sunday we're hosting a virtual conversation with Madeline Quasebarth, author of the new book "Don't Breed on Me," and health policy researcher Lee Hasselbacher. Together they'll be discussing the millennia-long story of abortion and the fight for reproductive justice today.

"Don't Breed on Me: A Short History of Abortion" is a defiant, funny, and unflinching dive into a practice as old as humanity and as contested as ever. From medieval Europe to Ming Dynasty China, from women enslaved in the American South to German nuns smuggling herbs, abortion has always been here. And so have the people who provided it.

Register for the conversation and find your copy of Madeline's book on our website at https://firestorm.coop/events/3642-dont-breed-on-me.html. Can't make the event time but don't want to miss the discussion? Sign up and we'll send you a recorded copy to stream at your convenience!

Organized in collaboration with @pmpress as part of their All We Have Is Each Other speaker series!

At the end of the month we'll be teaming up with Yesod Farm and Asheville Jewish Voice for Peace for an event on Judaism rooted in social justice, feminism, and queer liberation! Rabbis Ariana Katz and Jessica Rosenberg join us to discuss their new book, "For Times Such As These: A Radical's Guide to the Jewish Year."

Like the book itself, this event will be an exploration of creative ritual and an invitation to embody decolonial / anti-Zionist, anti-racist, and queer practices. Rabbis Katz and Rosenberg—whose work with the Radical Jewish Calendar may be familiar to many of our community members—will read from their book, take questions, and lead a participatory discussion.
