Date: 2024-03-03

Author Angela Hume reads from her recent book "Deep Care: The Radical Activists Who Provided Abortions, Defied the Law, and Fought to Keep Clinics Open" and—with SYA cofounder Amelia Bonow—discusses the power of outrage, feminist technologies, queer and trans liberation, and the embrace of liminality as an avenue of resistance.

ABOUT THE BOOK
-----
"Deep Care" follows generations of activists and health workers who orbited the Women’s Choice Clinic in Oakland from the early 1970s until 2010, as they worked underground and above ground, in small cells and broad coalitions and across political movements with grit, conviction, and allegiances of great trust to do what they believed needed to be done—despite the law, when required. Grounded in interviews with activists sharing details of their work for the first time, Angela Hume reveals this critical, under-recognized story of the radical edge of the abortion movement. These lessons are more pertinent than ever following the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision and the devastation to abortion access nationwide.
