Rally for Reproductive Rights: Women’s March Returns October 2

 

 

BY THE TEAM | The day after Texas’s new abortion law went into effect, the Women’s March announced its return to Washington and across the nation to rally in support of reproductive rights. 

On October 2, we’re marching in every single state ahead of the Supreme Court reconvening on October 4. Women’s March and more than 90 other organizations, including National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, Planned Parenthood, SHERO Mississippi, Mississippi in Action, Access Reproductive Care-Southeast, The Frontline, Working Families Party, and SisterSong, are organizing a national call to mobilize and defend our reproductive rights.

Here's how you can find or host a march near you.
