Welcome to "On What Matters," a conversation series between our executive vice president Hilary Pennington and social justice leaders on the frontlines of change. This episode features Dr. Herminia Palacio, president and CEO of the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that focuses on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Dr. Herminia Palacio talks with Hilarys about Roe v. Wade and how community leaders, politicians, and doctors can band together to advance reproductive justice around the world. As she says, “I remind myself that the fierceness, the toxicity of this particular backlash is actually a reflection of how much progress we had been making, and it gives me hope that we can once again regain that momentum—that we must regain that momentum.” Learn more about our work on gender and reproductive justice at: https://www.fordfoundation.org/news-and-stories/videos/the-future-is-hers/ And more about the Guttmacher Institute at: https://www.guttmacher.org/ _______ We want this video to be accessible to the widest possible audience.
