IHWSH is committed to the promotion of health and safety. We follow CDC and Harris County Public Health guidance regarding the rapidly changing landscape wrought by the coronavirus. As of 07/23, Ready Harris has elevated the threat level to orange. We recommend that unvaccinated individuals, and vaccinated individuals who do not feel well, avoid public gatherings such as ours. Our vaccinated volunteers have elected to resume wearing masks at our events, and we’ll continue to maintain common sense precautions such as frequent handwashing. We will continue to update this site as needed. If your careful consideration of your individual risk prevents you from attending our events, please consider a donation in support of reproductive rights. Thank you for your support and for keeping safe during these challenging times.
