2026 Maternal Health Luncheon

This fall, the ACLU of Kentucky and SisterSong will mark an important milestone: the 5th Annual Maternal Health Luncheon. The luncheon, taking place October 17, 2026, at the University Club at the University of Louisville, has become an important gathering place for people committed to improving reproductive health and maternal health across Kentucky. The Maternal Health Luncheon is where those principles become community. Much of advocacy happens in legislatures, courtrooms, and policy meetings. Once a year, this gathering deliberately shifts the focus. We listen to the people experiencing gaps in reproductive care. We learn from one another. We create space for people to see themselves not simply as observers of the movement, but as part of it. That connection matters, particularly now. Reproductive freedom does not exist separately from voting rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+ equality, economic opportunity, or religious liberty. The rights that shape our lives are connected, and protecting them requires a movement that understands those connections. We are grateful to KRCRC for helping make this fifth year gathering possible. Click Here to Register Now!

The Carl L. Wedekind Bill of Rights Dinner

The Carl L. Wedekind Bill of Rights Dinner is an evening dedicated to celebrating the enduring fight for civil liberties and the people who make that work possible across Kentucky. At a time when so many fundamental rights are being challenged in courts, classrooms, communities, and legislatures, this gathering is both a celebration of progress and a recommitment to the work ahead. We are especially honored to welcome keynote speaker Deborah Archer, President of the National American Civil Liberties Union, a nationally recognized expert on civil rights, civil liberties, and racial justice. We hope you will join us for an inspiring evening of reflection, connection, and renewed commitment to protecting the rights and dignity of every Kentuckian.
