Arkansas Times hasn't added a story.
Save the date – February 28th! Join us for an important luncheon (11:30-1:00) as we delve into the courageous battle to reclaim and restore reproductive rights in Arkansas.
We’ll hear from Lauren Cowles, a drafter of the Arkansas Abortion Amendment and coalition member with Arkansans for Limited Government, a coalition of doctors, lawyers and advocates working to restore abortion access to Arkansans. The group aims to enshrine reproductive rights, safe from government interference, into the Arkansas constitution.
Cowles is a seasoned policy drafter at the federal level and has brought her talents home to help solidify abortion rights in her home state. As part of Arkansans for Limited Government, Cowles works alongside healthcare providers, faith leaders, and impacted women and families to restore safe, legal abortion in Arkansas. She will give insight into how the Arkansas Abortion Amendment language was crafted, including how the amendment provides meaningful abortion access while accounting for Arkansas’ complicated political landscape.
Cowles will be joined by The Rev. Elizabeth Henry-McKeever, who serves the rector (pastor) of St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Little Rock. She grew up in Little Rock and is a graduate of Davidson College in North Carolina and Virginia Theological Seminary. Elizabeth's professional experience prior to ordination includes community organizing on the West Coast and managing online fundraising for Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
This is an exclusive opportunity to hear from a policy expert and drafter on one of the most influential proposed constitutional amendments to date. Cowles and The Reverend will be available for questions after the presentation.
The Arkansas Times plans to make a significant donation to Arkansans for Limited Government following the event in an effort to support the fight.
About This Series
In the face of massive layoffs of reporters nationwide, against
the odds, the Arkansas Times has grown from four to 11 reporters in
just 18 months thanks to community support from supporters,
subscribers and advertisers. We have currently assembled one of the
finest writing staffs we’ve had in our fifty year history, and we’re
just getting started. Be assured, 100% of the proceeds from this event
will go toward the planned hiring of two more reporters during the
first half of this year.
Note: A tax deductible donation of $100 is requested, which includes a great meal at the Copper Grill.
Now is the time to stand up and fight. We have a state government determined to control the most personal decisions women and families face. The Times is proud to donate its considerable marketing clout to help pass the Arkansas Abortion Amendment once it gets on the ballot. I hope you will support the Arkansas Times by joining us and Lauren Cowles for lunch on Feb. 28. Looking forward to seeing you there!
