• Email essay to Ulaj@westchesterlegislators.com.
• Seeking submissions from high school students in District 9 (Briarcliff, Croton, Hendrick Hudson, or Ossining High Schools)

With abortion and reproductive rights under attack nationally, I am very eager to hear how young people are feeling at this moment. We’ve made so much progress, yet there is still so much at stake across critical issues impacting the lives of women.
