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.

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.”

✅ JOIN a NATIONAL ORGANIZING ZOOM to FIND OUT HOW and GET INVOLVED!
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

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.”
