Reproductive Freedom Book Club
Meeting dates for current selection: February 3rd, February 17th, and March 3rd from 6-7pm. Zoom online meeting (Info will be provided upon receipt of R.S.V.P.)
Book club is back! (Thank you to everyone who joined us last year!) Have you been wanting to join a book club, but not known where to start? We've got you covered. Join NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota's book club where you'll be able to engage with fellow reproductive freedom activists, have thoughtful discourse, and learn from each other.
We'll meet virtually every two weeks on Zoom (for the time being) to discuss a designated section of our chosen book.
Our current selection is Difficult Women, by Roxane Gay.
About the book: "Difficult Women (a book of short stories) tells of hardscrabble lives, passionate loves, and quirky and vexed human connection. The women in these stories live lives of privilege and of poverty, are in marriages both loving and haunted by past crimes or emotional blackmail. A woman married to a twin pretends not to realize when her husband and his brother impersonatte each other. A stripper putting herself through college fends off the advances of an overzealous black customer. A black engineer moves to Upper Michigan for a job and faces the malign curiosity of her colleagues and the difficulty of leaving her past behind. From a girls' fight club to a wealthy subdivision in Florida where neighbors conform, compete, and spy on each other, Gay gives voice to a chorus of unforgettable women in a scintillating collection reminiscent of Merritt Tierce, Anne Enright, and Amanda July.

Upcoming Volunteer Clinic Escort Trainings
Our monthly Volunteer Clinic Escort Trainings are back – with a virtual twist! Fill out our interest survey using this link below and we'll provide call in information closer to the event.
For more than a decade, NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota has trained clinic escort volunteers who help women safely into their local abortion provider. Clinic escorts are a friendly face and a safe barrier between patients and the anti-choice protesters who harass women outside of clinics. NARAL has trained hundreds of volunteers for our Minneapolis and Robbinsdale clinics – and we're inviting you to become one of them.
Join us on February 8th, March 10th, or April 13th, 2021 via Zoom for a clinic escort training. Here, you can learn the history of clinic escorting, the logistics of working with Minneapolis providers, and how to handle clinic protesters.
After the training, you'll have the opportunity to sign up for specific escorting dates.
