Tri-College Women In Action Conference

 

What are you reclaiming? That’s the question being asked this year at the Women In Action conference.  The focus of WIA this year is empowering women through panels discussions centered around themes such as; domestic abuse, reproductive rights, personal health, LGBTQA community, language, and diversity. Everybody has something to reclaim, the WIA conference encourages you to reclaim what you feel has been taken from you. Whether you choose to reclaim one or more of the topics presented or discover your own issue to challenge, remember you are the only one capable of reclaiming yourself.

Amy Jacobson, North Dakota Public Affairs Manger for Planned Parenthood MN, ND,SD is presenting during both session of “The Uterus”. Jacobson will discuss reproductive health advocacy and activism in our region. Other panelists include a Nurse Practitioner from a local family planning clinic and the Assistant Director of the Red River Women’s Clinic. To register click here. 

The conference is at Minnesota State University Moorhead on Friday, January 29th from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
