Recieved from RiseUp4AbortionRights Chicago

 

This decision cannot stand!
Take to the streets with us and demand legal abortion nationwide!

Protest this Saturday, July 2, 2 pm
Federal Plaza, Adams & Dearborn, Chicago

Last Friday's decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe hit us all hard. No matter how much we saw it

coming, none of us could be fully prepared for the full weight of the cruelty of this ruling and the outrage, fear, and pain it would provoke. Immediately, abortion providers had to close their doors and began cancelling appointments. Desperate women and girls across the country saw the walls begin to close in around them. And this is just the beginning.

Yes, we must mourn, but now we must ORGANIZE and MOBILIZE!

This ruling was ILLEGITIMATE. It must not be allowed to stand. All of us who feel this shock and outrage must and can seize this moment to mobilize many more people to stand up now in determined and relentless nonviolent mass struggle to demand that the federal government immediately restore LEGAL ABORTION ACROSS THE LAND!

Get creative, wear green, bring signs and symbols of our anger and our determination, bring noise makers and your friends!

Join us at the Decision Day Action - We Won't Go Back!

Sunday, July 3, 12 pm
Harrison Park, 1824 S. Wood, Chicago (on the side of 18th & Damen)
Hosted on the Women's March website, RSVP here.
Wear green, look for the big green Rise Up banner!

We cannot allow more than half the country to suffer under these theocratic laws. The Republican Party, now firmly in the grip of Christian fascists, has made it very clear that they aim to abolish abortion nationwide. We cannot rely on an election more than five months from now, an election they are preparing to steal.

People power won us the right to abortion and it will be people power that restores it. Be inspired by the success of women's movements across Latin America that have taken to the streets and won, illustrated in this Slideshow from the Washington Post

And look for more news soon about local and nationwide plans for July 4th. No one is free when women are not free!

Follow us on social media and spread the word, build the network of determined resistance!
