What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

Cici Coquillette is a lawyer that does a lot of pro abortion cases. We talked to her for about 30 minutes and asked questions about what she does and cases that have stuck out to her. She told us that the majority of her cases are with women that need abortions in states where it is banned. She also told us that she has worked with people is South america and Europe. Cici also told us that she did a ton of cases in Iceland. We asked her if it was different in anyway or if the cases were generally the same. She explained that even though the cases remained similar the way of life was extremely different and it was fascinating to be apart of something is a different continent. This interview was extremely helpful and it was good for us to talk to someone who fights for reproductive rights in their day-to-day life.
