All events are free and open to the public

The festival is a direct response to the end of the rights and security of Roe v. Wade. End Abortion Stigma, together with 10 co-sponsors (see below) presents a selection of films made by Ithaca College students and alumni, a premiere short about Assemblyman George Michaels, and a narrative about a mother and her pregnant daughter fighting cultural abortion restrictions in Chad.

End Abortion Stigma began in 2015 with the mission of sharing stories of life before the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973.  Members have told their stories individually and to groups through films, plays, rallies, public statements, and by seeking legislation in support of safe abortion access. 

For more information, see their website.
