Welcome to SRR!


Abortion doctors murdered, women made to feel shame, access is scarce: the anti-choice student movement has been busy. Let's get as organized and effective as they have been. Let's fight back and protect our reproductive rights!

Are you pro-choice? Students for Reproductive Rights (SRR) is UBC's new pro-choice club. Our goal is to educate and empower people of all ages and genders with knowledge of reproductive health so that they can make choices that are best for their individual needs. We will act to protect our right to make these decisions and to choose when to reproduce. SRR plans to hold various events related to reproductive rights that may include safe space discussions, sexual health education, and political activism in some of its many forms. We hope to begin a lasting discussion on campus around this issue and to create a network of resources and support.

Most importantly: our first meeting will be this Wednesday, November 4th at 5pm in Irving K Barber Room 317. This room is in the back corner of the library on the 3rd floor of Irving K. We will be deciding what form the group will take and brainstorming events, so come and have your say in this important process. Bring along all your pro-choice, pro-family planning, pro-health friends, open to all ages and genders! This might not be the permanent meeting time, I'll be sending out an online survey next week after the meeting. There are executive positions available if you'd like to be more involved.
