[PAST EVENT] Free Screening of "Trapped" + Panel Discussion
April 9, 2016
5pm - 7:30pm
Reproductive rights are under assault in the U.S.
Since 2010, 288 laws restricting access to abortion services have been passed by conservative state legislatures, particularly in the south. These restrictions, known as TRAP laws (or Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers) are spreading across America and threaten the constitutional rights of millions of people seeking comprehensive reproductive healthcare including abortion.
W&M VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood, Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, and NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia are excited to bring the Sundance Award Winning documentary Trapped to William & Mary on Saturday April 9th at 5pm in Andrews 101. Due to the generosity of our coalition partners, admission is free for all!
As the the U.S. Supreme Court decides later this year whether states may effectively outlaw abortion, TRAPPED gives an emotional peek inside a complex and deeply polarizing issue.

at NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia
~ Nia Bentall: Field Organizer at Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia
~ Ha Tran: Organizer with the Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project
