Today OWCS wants to give a shout out to Board Co-Chair Emeritus Kimberly Koops-Wrabek!

Kimberly currently works in government relations for the University of Oregon, where she works with students and alumni to advocate for student aid and research. Before working in higher ed, she spent nearly a decade working in reproductive rights policy and advocacy, including as the Political Director for a statewide ballot measure campaign to protect abortion access. She earned a law degree from the University of Oregon and a BA in politics and government from Pacific University. Kimberly lives in Oregon with her spouse, Matthew, and cat, Imelda Meowcos.

Thank you for being one of our leaders, Kimberly. We hope you will all join us on Jan 22nd for the Oregon Womxn's Campaign School. Sign up here: https://bit.ly/3zahTCn

"For months, abortion bans made national headlines, in large part thanks to Texas. The state passed a law banning abortion at six weeks, the point at which doctors could detect fetal cardiac activity, and allowed any private citizen to sue a doctor or person aiding or abetting someone seeking an abortion for at least $10,000 dollars a procedure."

“By attending the 2018 Oregon Women's Campaign School, I connected so many personal & professional dots through the lens of reproductive justice, including meeting the future team I’d be working with to defend abortion access on the Oregon ballot by defeating Measure 106.”

Lindsey Sadlou (She/They) graduated from the Oregon Women’s Campaign School in 2018, where she gleaned from professional advocates, campaign staff, and elected officials how to lead winning values-driven field campaigns. She was proud to serve on the OWCS board from 2019-2021. Lindsey currently works as the Field Director for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon, where she leads a kickass team that works to grow the movement for sexual & reproductive health care & education across Oregon.
