Wade was overturned\, a woman’s right to choose remains precarious. \; Fortunately\, Illinois continues to ser ve as a haven for many. \;Here is an opportunity for you to step up an d take a stand in support of these women. AES Sisterhood has volunteered t o participate in NCJW’s Comfort Care Kit Project Kits contain a dozen or so essential items for women who visit Illinois Planned Parenthood clinic s. By all accounts\, patients truly appreciate this kind gesture. \;&n bsp\;\nWe need your help! The Sisterhood will assemble 250 Comfort Care Ki ts to be delivered to Planned Parenthood clinics over the summer. \; W e will meet at the synagogue on Tuesday\, June 27 \;at 7PM to assemble the kits and receive an update about reproductive rights. \; This is a follow-up to our program earlier this spring with Lt. Governor Juliana S tratton about reproductive choice. Our Sisterhood has made reproductive ch oice a priority for our activities. \;Of course\, the event is free\, but registration is required.\n\nRegister Here\n\n\nWe also welcome moneta ry donations to purchase inventory for the kits. Each kit we assemble will cost about $5. Your donation in a multiple of $5 will help underwrite the expense. \;\nDonations can be sent via Zelle to AESsisterhood@gmail.c om or checks payable to "Anshe Emet Sisterhood" can be sent c/o Marla Gord on\, 2652 N Dayton\, Chicago 60614. \;\nQuestions can be directed to M arcie Marcovitz or Debby Gubin.
