In the realm of politics, alliances that transcend party lines are a rare sight.

However, South Carolina’s State Senate has become a captivating case study, as five state senators from divergent political backgrounds are defying expectations by voting in a unified bloc to prevent a proposed total abortion ban in the state.

Join Senator Gustafson, Senator Matthews, Senator McLeod, and Senator Senn for an engaging online event as we delve into the intriguing dynamics of the South Carolina State Senate.

Whether you’re a policy enthusiast, a political observer of an advocate for reproductive rights, this event offers a unique opportunity to delve into the complexities of coalition-building and the power of bipartisanship in shaping crucial policy decisions.
