The event, organized by the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, featured speeches by Sen. Kathy Stein and Rep.

On Tuesday January 22, exactly 40 years after the momentous Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, six area groups joined forces for a fun social event to mark the occasion.

“Cheers to Choice” was held in Louisville at the Falls City Taproom (which generously donated the space and beer for the evening), and jointly benefitted KRCRC, ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project, Planned Parenthood of KY, A Fund, Clinic Escorts, and the Kentucky Health Justice Network.

A packed crowd heard a short speech by Derek Selznick of ACLU’s RFP, took part in a basket raffle, and enjoyed munchies provided by the six groups. The mood was upbeat, as members of all six groups chatted and networked. Thanks to Derek for spearheading the event organization!
