Five years, John.
That’s how long it’s been since the first Women’s March on Washington, when we came together for the single biggest day of protest in the history of our country. Our women-led movement rose up to reject Donald Trump and his cruel administration, and we won.
Together, we’ve shown that when we turn our rage into action we can move mountains – and that is exactly what we need to do right now, John.
Abortion, our fundamental right to self-determination, is under direct attack. The Supreme Court has just released a draft opinion confirming our worst fears: Roe v. Wade is on the brink of being overturned.
We’re calling on our most dedicated Women’s March supporters, like you, to join us in the streets and demand: “Bans Off Our Bodies.” In partnership with Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Ultraviolet, and MoveOn, we will mobilize on May 14, 2022 and let the world know we will not take this attack on our rights silently.
Bans Off Our Bodies! National Day of Action May 14, 2022 |
This draft opinion is just the beginning. The Supreme Court will announce their official decision on abortion rights in June. Once that happens, 26 states could move quickly to ban abortion, meaning millions of people – over half the country – could live without local access to abortion care. Until then, we have a lot of work to do – and we have to start now.
Over the past 5 years we’ve made it clear that women, especially women of color, are the driving force behind systemic change and political power in our country. Everyday women are everything in this fight, and we have to meet this moment with courage, determination, and love for our fellow women and community members.
John, you’re a critical part of our movement and we’re beyond grateful to have you on our team, especially during this historic moment. As a Women’s March supporter, we need you to join a mobilization in your community and send a clear message: we will not accept anything less than our right to determine our futures on our own timelines.
If it’s a fight they want, it’s a fight they’ll get.
In solidarity,
Women’s March
