Coffee Talks

Coffee Talks

Thank you to everyone who attended our first Coffee Talks events. Hosted in conjunction with NARAL, Planned Parenthood Votes Nevada, PLAN, and Wild West Access Fund, these discussions aimed to give teenagers space to discuss how the recent SCOTUS decision on Roe v. Wade affects them and their peers. We were blown away by the turnout, as well as the incredible insight and thoughtfulness of everyone who shared their opinions, personal stories, and ideas. Please keep an eye out for future Coffee Talk events — we would love to hear from all of you again.
