Partner Perspectives
Site Visit with Manos Abiertas
Join us for the FINAL virtual Site Visit Series session, spotlighting our Guatemalan partners, Asociación Manos Abiertas (AMA)!
Founded in 2008, AMA delivers holistic, rights-based reproductive health care to vulnerable populations in Guatemala. Over the last 17 years, AMA has grown to employ an all-women team of midwives and nurses, many of whom are of Mayan descent. Often, AMA staff are the first in their families to complete a formal education; some have achieved this while working at Manos.
During the webinar, we will learn more about our Senior Analyst, Hannah Evan’s, site visit to AMA’s headquarters. Hannah will outline demographic trends of Guatemala, share reflections from her visit, and highlight impact statements from program participants. AMA’s Executive Director, Diana Friewald, will then join us to dive deeper into the organization’s programs, community impacts, and future goals. Additionally, Hannah and Diana will answer questions submitted by audience members during the Q&A session.

In addition, you’ll learn more about PopEd’s professional development workshops, ready-to-use curriculum, and interactive classroom activities that impact classrooms across the country and beyond.

Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion
By Gabrielle Blair
This New York Times bestseller reframes the abortion debate by placing responsibility for unwanted pregnancies on men. Blair presents 28 concise, witty, and evidence-based arguments showing how contraception is simpler, more accessible, and less burdensome for men than for women. By contrasting the ease of condoms with the complex, ongoing demands of female contraceptives, the book calls on men to take more accountability.
