Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The 2018 documentary Reversing Roe illustrated the heartfelt and often intense debate of abortion care in the U.S. today, highlighting the history of the 1973 Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, the contemporary forces opposed to such legislation, and the individuals dedicated to defending reproductive freedom. This past April, HSU students from across disciplines held a public screening of this documentary and opened a dialogue for the community to tackle the issues at hand: why are the rights of Roe v. Wade still important today, how could overturning such legislation endanger the health of Americans across the country, and what is the role of the Humboldt county community going forward?
