Award-winning comedian, writer and activist Judy Gold will host the one-night-only event to assemble strong voices from womxn and allies in the Broadway community and beyond through musical performances, personal testimonials and other special appearances on July 29, 2019, at The Cutting Room (44 E 32nd St).

The program will also highlight the work of NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman, Dr. Linda Prine, Dr, Neha Bhardwaj, Dr. Meera Shah, and many more accomplished activists, fighting every day for the protection of reproductive rights and access to reproductive health programs.
