Honoring Sandra Fluke at the Multi-Generational Brunch
On Sunday, 200 pro-choice women and men braved New York City's chilly temperatures and rainy weather and came out for the Third Annual Multi-Generational Brunch, hosted by NARAL Pro-Choice America's Future Direction Committee.
Mothers, daughters, and granddaughters came to the event to stand up for their pro-choice values. Personal stories were the theme of the day, and each story shared was a reminder of two things: the importance of living out our personal beliefs, and the importance of making our voices heard.
Roz Jonas (pictured with her daughter, Lauren) and Dana Weinstein moved guests to tears with their personal abortion stories.
Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, presented Sandra Fluke with the Stand Up for Choice Award for her amazing work speaking out for birth control in the face of a panoply of personal attacks against her.
Sandra shared with the audience the importance of every woman telling her story. All of the stories highlighted the importance of standing up and speaking out to make your pro-choice voice heard.

I am so unbelievably moved to read about the courageous storytelling that took place at the multi-generational brunch this past weekend; I am a firm believer in the widespread/cultural-crossing impact of personal stories as methods of revolution. In February of this year, I started a 100% story-driven campaign ("proMYlife: A Courageous Campaign for Choice") aimed at giving women a safe place to share their abortion stories, a place where men and women can proudly profess their support of choice, a place where 'life' is put back into the pro-choice discourse-- since it is, in fact, OUR LIVES we are celebrating by defending our right to reproductive freedom. I would be honored for those at NARAL to visit the campaign: promylife.org or facebook.com/promylifecampaign
