The Roe v. Wade decision helped spark the founding of the Santa Cruz Women’s Health Collective in 1974, when UCSC student volunteers supported women in accessing critical sexual and reproductive health information and services. That grassroots effort grew into the organization we know and love today: Santa Cruz Community Health.

This year’s brunch will feature two keynote speakers, Amy Merrill (Plan C) and Rebecca Nall (I need an A), who will discuss the current state of abortion access in the United States and the path forward as we continue the ongoing fight for reproductive freedom.
