Dear SYRFers,
After a little break for turkey and cranberry sauce,
the SYRF team is back at it and busier than ever.
This SYRForecast includes news about grants,
the RCRC Annual Conference, and two great
programming resources. Help yourself to a piece of
leftover pumpkin pie and pull up a chair because we
have LOTS to share.
And don't forget, I can't wait to hear all
about the SYRF organizing you've done this
semester! E-
mail us and brag about all the wonderful work
you're doing across the country...
As always, you can find out about what is new in
the world of SYRF by checking out our
website!
Please read on to find out about ways you can put
your faith into action for
reproductive justice. E-mail me at info@syrf.org with
questions and suggestions!
All good things,
Emily Goodstein, SYRF Program Coordinator
