Friend,
The Supreme Court is poised to gut or overturn women’s fundamental
right to abortion in a few months. We must RESIST! We are sharing the
following Rise Up 4 Abortion RIghts whose statement and actions
we endorse and are joining with and urge all to act now to stop this
fascist assault on abortion rights.
Denying the
right to abortion forces women to bear children against their will. This
does grotesque physical, emotional, societal, and psychic violence by
reducing women to baby-making machines! Denying the right to abortion
hits poor women, and especially Black and other women of color, with
vicious consequence – tightening the chains of both white supremacy and
patriarchy. The attack on abortion is part of a patriarchal Christian
fascist program that takes aim at contraception as well as LGBTQ rights.
We urge you to participate however you can in these events:
Wednesday February 16, a live & streamed event:
7:00 pm ET Revolution Books Harlem 437 Malcolm X Blvd @ 132nd Street
