A Reading in Reflection: Roe v. Wade Commemoration

@ Pilsen Community Books

1531 W. 18th St. Chicago, Illinois 60608

Opening Monday, June 29th, from 6:30PM - 8:30PM

Join us as we reflect on the impact of the overturning of Roe v. Wade

On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. By a 6–3 vote, the Court ruled that the U.S. Constitution does not provide a right to abortion, ending nearly 50 years of federal protections and returning the authority to regulate the procedure to individual states.

In partnership with Hypertext Magazine, the Guild Literary Complex will host a reading observing the anniversary of this historic loss of reproductive rights and reflecting on its lasting impact.

Featuring Della Leavitt, author of Vivian’s Decision, and contributors from The Overturning Anthology
