Autumn is the President of the Abortion Forward board of directors!

As a social worker, I believe access to abortion is essential because sexual health and healthcare access are fundamental to wellbeing. Stigma often prevents honest conversations about sexual health from happening, which only deepens misinformation and barriers to care. Protecting abortion access is part of ensuring that folks can make informed decisions and receive the healthcare they need without shame.

Fun fact about me: I love Pilates!
