The ClutchKit Hosts Gathering with Gloria Steinem to Advance Reproductive Care and Access
January 9, 2025, NEW YORK, NY — In a powerful intersection of feminist history and contemporary reproductive health advocacy, ClutchKit founders gathered with feminist icon Gloria Steinem at her historic New York City home — once the birthplace of Ms. Magazine — to mark a new chapter in reproductive health education and accessibility.
The intimate event brought together ClutchKit co-founders Lisa Beattie Frelinghuysen, Dune Thorne, and Christine Currence with next-generation advocates to discuss breaking down barriers to reproductive health access and education. The gathering took place in the same space where Ms. Magazine was conceived, symbolizing the continuing evolution of women's healthcare advocacy.
"The fight for reproductive health education and accessibility bridges generations," said Ms. Frelinghuysen. "ClutchKit’s mission to prevent unintended pregnancies through education and accessibility represents the next chapter in this ongoing work."
ClutchKit is taking a unique approach to reproductive health by focusing on prevention and education, offering essential tools including emergency contraception, pregnancy tests, and educational materials in a thoughtfully designed kit. The company emphasizes that emergency contraception prevents pregnancy before it occurs — a fact unknown to many.
Through its non-profit arm, ClutchKit is working to ensure these essential resources reach underserved communities, partnering with organizations like Red Hook Initiative in Brooklyn, NY, and Mujer Florida to expand access to reproductive health tools and education.
