Description:

During this session, we will dive into the hidden truths about anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), how they threaten public health and autonomy, and why it is critical that advocates for bodily autonomy and abortion access resist their continued proliferation across the U.S. 

Lisa Battisfore (she/her) is the founder and president of Reproductive Transparency Now. Lisa is a two-time Northwestern graduate, and has experience working in corporate strategy, marketing, and brand management, as well as working with youth and volunteering as an abortion clinic escort. For Lisa, it is an honor and privilege to leverage her professional skill set to further her life's passion: to STOP FAKE CLINICS.  

Reproductive Transparency Now (RTN) is a Chicago-based, volunteer-run organization whose mission is to advance reproductive justice by raising awareness about anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, or “fake clinics,” through direct action, education, and advocacy.
