Illinois LEND

Three of our LEND trainees, Angie Murthy, Abby Caughman, and Madison Turner have been working with Claire McNorton at Planned Parenthood of Illinois to host a Disability and S*x Ed Story telling workshop! Disabled individuals will have the opportunity to develop their own sex-ed stories to be used as a tool for advocacy! The workhop will take place on Zoom this Wednesday, March 27, at 1pm. Disabled individuals who want to participate can sign up using the QR code below, or by following this link: https://www.weareplannedparenthoodaction.org/a/storytelling-advocacy-share-your-disability-sex-ed-story
