A week marred by the reelection of known sexual abuser<\/a> and abortion-rights antagonist<\/a> Donald Trump for president took a much-needed turn toward community and organizing momentum at Los Angeles\u2019s beloved bakery Gjusta on Monday. Cohosted by women\u2019s health company Perelel Universe, alongside stylist and Period founder Karla Welch<\/a>, and entrepreneur, author, and former doula Erica Chidi<\/a>, the event served as a battle cry to encourage attendees to sign a petition<\/a> calling on Congress to allocate more funding to the National Institutes of Health and close the gender health gap ahead of the 2025 budget deadline on December 20.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles luminaries including Raven-Symon\u00e9, Abbi Jacobson, Zoe Lister-Jones, Judy Greer, and Eckhaus Latta<\/a> co-creative director Zoe Latta mingled beneath a constellation of twinkle lights and heat lamps. Although the ramifications of a second Trump presidency on reproductive autonomy weren’t far from anyone\u2019s mind, Perelel cofounders Alex Taylor, Victoria Thain Gioia, and Dr. Banafsheh Bayati urged attendees to remember that the inequity built into our government\u2019s approach toward researching and treating women\u2019s health issues are unfortunately systemic and deep-rooted, regardless of who is occupying the White House at any given time.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour years ago, women\u2019s health wasn\u2019t even a hot topic on the table, and what\u2019s incredibly important is that we have seen this groundswell of interest with what has happened in recent years, but as our reproductive autonomy continues to be stripped away, how empowering is it to equip women with knowledge of how our bodies work?\u201d Taylor asked, with Gioia adding: \u201cFour years ago, we weren\u2019t talking about pregnancy loss as openly, or PCOS, or period pain, or menopause. Now we\u2019re talking about it, and I hope that\u2019s the start of the change.\u201d<\/p>\n
