What is Trump allowed to do with the swipe of a pen – and what isn’t legal? We have invited Howard University professor Kathryn Wiley to break things down for us! \nJoin us Tuesday\, June 17\, at 7:30PM for Understanding Executive Orders with Professor Kathryn Wiley! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere are just a few of the executive orders that Trump has signed since he began his second term: \n\nBanning birthright citizenship\nCreating the DOGE agencies that slashed people’s jobs and aid for those in need\nDissolving the Department of Education\nEnding funding for public broadcasting like NPR and PBS\nBanning transgender people from the military\n\nEvery single one of these orders\, and many more\, are being challenged in court. And last month\, the courts ruled against Trump 96% of the time! \nBut that doesn’t mean that these orders aren’t impacting our communities. Our schools\, our neighborhoods\, and our places of work are being affected every day – and we’re going to talk about how. \nKathryn Wiley will break down what executive orders actually do\, how they’re being used right now (especially to target diversity efforts)\, and why they matter. She’ll share real-world examples and offer practical ways you can push back and take action in your own state. \nRSVP now for Understanding Executive Orders and Their Impact on June 17! \nSee you there! \nJulie URL:https://pbcnow.org/event/from-red-wine-blue-understanding-executive-orders-with-professor-kathryn-wiley/ LOCATION:Zoom or Other Virtual Platform END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250619T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250619T140000 DTSTAMP:20260526T110421 CREATED:20250528T232448Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250603T141304Z UID:5789-1750336200-1750341600@pbcnow.org SUMMARY:UPDATED: Dine and Discuss!

We have experts to help us understand the history\, types\, and importance of these threats to women’s health in general and to understand the possibilities and challenges of medication as it is used for contraception and abortion in the U.S and the world. Jan Erickson\, Co-President of CWI will introduce the presenters and moderate this CWI meeting with questions and answers from the virtual participants. \nAngela Cobian\, Senior Director of Organizing\, Partnerships\, and Constituency Team\, Policy\, Campaigns\, and Advocacy Division\, Planned Parenthood Action Fund\, Planned Parenthood Federation of America or an alterative Planned Parenthood expert will lead the discussion by providing a brief history of contraception\, abortion and Planned Parenthood in the US. Then she will discuss the Post Roe threats such as what was covered in Project 2025\, the Trump Exec Orders\, Congressional Legislation\, and especially threatening state legislation. She will then cover strategies and actions that give us hope and describe how we can counteract these threats. She will conclude by describing  what is needed to save federal funding for Planned Parenthood which was threatened by the House version with  the elimination of Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood Health Clinics. \n Kirsten Moore\, Director of Expanding  Medication Abortion Access (EMAAProject.org) which seeks to improve  the way medications prescribed for medication abortion care are dispensed in the U.S. to make the process consistent with the medical and scientific evidence and to meet women’s needs. Kirsten Moore will focus on the difference between emergency contraception and abortion. She will also explain how medications often used for abortions also help with many other health solutions and thus why restrictions on their use are even more dangerous. Her call to action is for MifeInAll 50. \nCWI Elections \nAfter the Q&A at the end of the meeting\, we will have the CWI annual elections meeting of its officers and board of directors.  Please let Sue Klein or Jan Erickson know if you would like to join us on the CWI Board.
