A 2022 Women’s Convention attendee walks by historic enlarged photographs of the women’s rights journey at the conference taking place at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Saturday, Aug. 13, 2022, in Houston.The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade earlier this year brought Christel Reyna back to a dark time in her life, she said, when at 19 years old she became pregnant from a rape.
The recent wave of state legislation cutting back nearly 50 years of abortion rights was top of mind for Reyna and hundreds of people who on Saturday attended the 2022 Women’s Convention in the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. While the Roe decision served as an energizing force throughout the convention, feminist groups spoke to a variety of topics, including wage equality, healthcare, childcare infrastructure and political representation. For many, the issues were deeply connected.
Imari Reynolds attended the convention with Hoochies of Houston, an activist group “dedicated to the empowerment of Black people and protection of Black women.” Abortion access has become a central issue for the group, as Reynolds noted maternal mortality and morbidity rates already are disproportionately high among Black women.Nunes’ group was among several convention sponsors, including Women’s March, Black Feminist Future, Planned Parenthood and the National Women’s Law Center.
