Speakers at the 1/18 March...Thank You!
Amanda Zurawski is a reproductive rights advocate who lives in Austin, TX. In 2022, after 18 months of fertility treatment, Amanda and her husband Josh learned she was pregnant with their first baby. Unfortunately Amanda miscarried at 18 weeks, but due to the abortion bans in Texas, was unable to receive healthcare, and after three days crashed into septic shock, which nearly killed her.
After spending a week in the hospital, Amanda began speaking out about her experience to help spread awareness and with hopes of preventing similar fates befalling other pregnant people, in Texas and beyond.
Amanda has spent the last two years advocating for reproductive rights and abortion access. She has testified in front of US Congress, has provided interviews for countless media outlets and platforms, and was the lead plaintiff in Zurawski vs. Texas, the first lawsuit brought by patients challenging a state on its abortion bans since the fall of Roe v Wade. The case is featured in a documentary by the same name. Amanda was a surrogate for the Harris-Walz presidential campaign and continues to advocate through political, news and social platforms.
