College Democrats and Planned Parenthood Mar Monte invite you to a free screening of the documentary
Not Yet Rain

Thursday, March 10, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.

Unsafe abortion causes 13 percent of maternal deaths worldwide. In Ethiopia, safe, legal abortion is saving women’s lives, and changing the future for millions of women.

Not Yet Rain, a short film by Emmy-winner Lisa Russell, produced in association with Ipas, explores abortion in Ethiopia through the experiences of women faced with the challenge of unwanted pregnancy. While a new abortion law marked great progress toward reproductive freedom, Not Yet Rain shows that changing the law is just the first step.

Kirsten Sherk, the film's co-producer, and representatives of Ipas and Planned Parenthood will lead a discussion following the screening.

Refreshments will be provided. For more information, contact Sacramentovol@ppmarmonte.org, or (916) 325-1730.
