Did you hear about this meeting? Yesterday morning, a few dozen women in Hollywood and other industries jumped on Zoom to strategize how to respond to the repeal of Roe v. Wade. The gathering, which was quickly assembled amid the widespread outrage by producer and activist Katie McGrath, CAA’s Maha Dakhil, consultant Ngoc Nguyen, and Rebecca Goldman and Catherine St-Laurent of the philanthropy consultancy Acora Partners, began with the reading of an Amanda Gorman poem. Gloria Steinem joined the group, vowing a swift and aggressive response to the rollback of reproductive rights. And the women, which included stars like Amy Schumer, Debra Messing, and Ashley Judd, as well as executives like attorney Nina Shaw, Universal Music Publishing Group C.E.O. Jody Gerson, longtime Glamour editor Cindi Leive, and many others, were provided detailed explanations from doctors and lawyers about the state of play post-Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. And, more importantly, what this group of powerful women can do to help now.
