The global attack on abortion rights is escalating. On January 20th, 2025, as Donald Trump is inaugurated once again as US President, we face a terrifying reality for pregnant women and people in America – and beyond.

That’s why Bpas - British Pregnancy Advisory Service and Amnesty International UK invite you to a special film screening and panel discussion of ZURAWSKI V TEXAS on Inauguration Day itself, to fight for a future where reproductive rights are protected.

ZURAWSKI V TEXAS follows a group of women who were denied abortions, even at the brink of death, that band together with a fearless attorney to sue the state of Texas in an extraordinary effort to regain their rights and reproductive futures — not only for themselves but millions of others.

📅 Monday 20th January, 2025
📍 Venue: Amnesty International UK's Human Rights Action Centre, 25 New Inn Yard, London EC2A 3EA

5:30 PM: Arrive and find seats

The event will raise funds for our work and for that of the US-based The Brigid Alliance, an organisation that provides logistical support to those in the US needing abortion care.

Ready to cast out the toxic message of 'new year, new me' and feel confident in the skin you're in? Organise your own watch-party of YOUR FAT FRIEND within your community now.

In YOUR FAT FRIEND, Acclaimed director Jeanie Finlay charts the rise of Aubrey Gordon. Shot over six years we see Aubrey go from anonymous blogger to The New York Times best seller and beloved podcaster with an audience of millions.

Her aim? A paradigm shift in the way that we view fat people and the fat on our own bodies. The world may be listening but her family have a way to go in understanding her work. A film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the messy feelings we hold about our bodies.
