Apiary at Netroots Nation

Marisa Falcon, Apiary’s Executive Director, led a panel discussion on “The Parallels of Anti-Abortion and Anti-Trans Laws and What We Can Learn” at the Netroots Nation Conference on July 15, 2023.

For the last 50 years, right-wing policy makers have put increasingly complex laws on the books to impact how and where abortion is accessible. They are now - almost to a T - replicating those laws to limit access to gender affirming care for trans and gender non-conforming people. The result of these restrictive policies around abortion access has created a vast network of organizations that help people travel for their care which is now also starting to be replicated in trans health. We talk about the local, national, and legal systems that exist within abortion access and how they can be understood and leveraged to support trans people who will need to travel.
