NYC Brooklyn26 Bridge May 

Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights actions around the country on Thursday took over the Brooklyn Bridge in NY, shut down LSD in Chicago, thousands of mostly HS and college students walked out and marched in cities and towns around the country. You are  invited to a national organizing zoom tomorrow/Sunday May 29 at 4 pm CDT.  

As Mark Ruffalo said at the New York action, it's not over until the people say it's over, and now is not the time to give into despair. It's the time to throw everything into this fight as if lives depend on it, because they do.

Here's a clip from Sunsara's speech in New York on Thursday about this moment we're in, the midst of this historic battle--clear-headed and inspiring.

Student marchers took over the Brooklyn Bridge. They marched through a Macy’s
and shut down Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. A march of green-clad abortion-rights protesters crossed paths with black-gowned Harvard graduates just after noon Thursday in Harvard Square.

An onlooker in New York tweeted: “Just witnessed this brave bunch of kids stand up for their rights over their own bodies by blocking the Brooklyn Bridge. On yourselves kids.” Another from his car: “Current situation: stuck at a standstill on the Brooklyn Bridge and not even mad about it. Disrupt the system babes.”

The SUPREME COURT COULD be STOPPED from TAKING AWAY ABORTION RIGHTS!

BUT ONLY IF WE ACT TOGETHER and FAST!

Everyone who cares about women and girls and a just society is encouraged to join and to invite everyone you can. Every one of us has a role to play in this fight!

The Supreme Court’s cruel plan to repeal Roe v. Wade and wipe out the right to abortion is a major attack which must be DEFEATED NOW—this May and June—before it is hammered into law.

This could be done if people in our millions make clear, through massive non-violent resistance, that we will bring the gears of society to a grinding halt before we allow the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The repeal of a previously recognized Constitutional right has never been done before. This

San Francisco May 26

would be a massive attack on women, one-half of humanity, that on top of everything else would fall hardest on Black, Latina, and other particularly oppressed peoples. Not only that; it would put birth control and the rights of LGBTQ people in the crosshairs next.

We must unite all who can be united to oppose this monstrous attack on the fundamental right to abortion. Facing a challenge like this, while we recognize and respect our differences and welcome exchange of views, this is a moment when we must reach beyond our different experiences and political points of view to stay focused on the one overriding need of the moment: preventing the Supreme Court from ripping this right away.

It is unconscionable to not act together in powerful righteous resistance while a fundamental right of half of humanity is being ripped away. The hour is late, but there is still time. To fail to act when there is still a chance and a fight to be waged, weakens the people and emboldens those who would deny our rights.

WE MUST ACT NOW! It is far harder to win a right back after it has been taken, than it is to defend it while you still have it. WE WON’T GO BACK!!!

As Sunsara Taylor stated in the walkout in NYC, “It  is not too late to stop Roe from being overturned  but we need to raise our sights and bring all of society to a halt.”

We Won't Go Back: 
Rally to Defend Abortion Rights

Federal Plaza, 219 S. Dearborn, Chicago, IL

Event by Chicago NOW, Illinois National Organization for Women and 10 others

Federal Plaza, 219 S. Dearborn, Chicago, IL

Public  · Anyone on or off Facebook

The once unthinkable is upon us: someone leaked a draft Supreme Court decision that would overturn Roe v. Wade and throw us at the mercy of the states when it comes to legal abortion access. Thanks to our hard work and dedicated activism, Illinois citizens' reproductive rights are protected - for now. But we must mobilize in support of safe, legal abortion for every American who needs one. Abortion is health care, and health care is a right!

Join local activists on Saturday, May 7 in Federal Plaza to channel your rage and sorrow into concrete action, and to find out what you can do right now to fight back. We will have information to share about NEXT week's rally on May 14 as well!

Current co-sponsors include: Chicago For Abortion Rights, Chicago DSA, Chicago NOW, Clinic Vest Project, Gay Liberation Network, Illinois Choice Action Team, Illinois NOW, Illinois Single Payer Coalition, National Council of Jewish Women, NCJW-South Cook Section, Reproductive Transparency Now, She Votes Illinois, Women's March Chicago (list in formation) 

The leaked draft decision by the Supreme Court that strikes down Roe v Wade is an ATROCITY but it is not yet law, and it doesn't have to be. It is what they plan to do and will do, if WE don't stop them.

UPDATED TIME 3:30pm

TODAY, Tuesday, May 3, 3:30pm, State and Jackson 

(in the Loop)

Join Refuse Fascism Chicago Chapter and organizers with RiseUp4AbortionRights

for an emergency protest.

"Alito's draft is deadly serious. It would allow the state to force women to have children against their will, enslaving them in that way," wrote Sunsara Taylor on Twitter last night. If this draft is published, fifty years of abortion rights will be overturned, and the Christian fascist super-majority will not stop there.

NOW IS THE TIME TO FIGHT IT - BEFORE IT BECOMES LAW

Bring your signs, your noisemakers, your outside voice and your friends. 

And organize with us to Rise Up & Raise Hell the week of May 8 through 15, with a rally at Millennium Park at 1 pm on Saturday, May 14.
