Marches yesterday on International Women's Day were powerful - Help Step It Up
from RiseUp4AbortionRights:

On March 8 – International Women’s Day – in rallies and marches in New York and 12 other cities across the country people declared their refusal to let the Supreme Court decimate women’s rights and gut or eliminate the right to abortion.

Hundreds marched through the streets of Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Berkeley. There were protests on college campuses in California and Texas, and by high school students in several locations. One woman decorated her pickup with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights banners and drove 500 miles from Little Rock to Austin. Prominent speakers and veteran fighters for women’s rights spoke in New York and Los Angeles, and in many places there was an important representation of fierce young people.

Many protesters just about everywhere wore green bandanas – like the women of Argentina and Colombia, who recently won historic victories for abortion rights by taking to the streets in sustained and growing protest, RiseUp4AbortionRights.org has taken up the green bandana as a symbol of resistance.

Here is the plan to intensify and broaden the fight to defend the right to abortion in the weeks ahead. Stay tuned for what you can do specifically, and meanwhile spread the plan.

Saturday or Sunday March 19/20 mass meetings to get organized
Friday April 8 Wear green everywhere
Saturday April 9 Back in the streets with mass protests and marches

Saturday/Sunday March 19/20 mass meetings to get organized
