Hi Friend, We’re furious. Today, the Supreme Court of the United States issued an opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, decimating abortion rights across the country. In Nevada, the right to abortion is protected in statute because of the hard work of community activists, organizers, and Nevada voters who passed a referendum in 1990 affirming the right to an abortion. Nevada will now become a safe haven for women in states that have now outlawed abortion — and it’s on us to protect them and our access here at home. Abortion is an essential form of health care. And we will continue yelling that far and wide for as long as we are able. Will you join us, alongside Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, for a week of action to tell the Supreme Court that our right to abortion will NOT be threatened here in Nevada? If you live in southern Nevada, there is a rally TONIGHT at 6:00 PM being held at the Federal Courthouse, at 333 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV. Please remember to dress cool and bring water. Check out the link to RSVP. In northern Nevada, there is a vigil being held at 7:00 PM TONIGHT at the Federal Courthouse at 400 N Virginia St. In addition, follow the link to see next week’s events and activities we will be a part of for the Roe Decision Week of Action. Starting on Monday, June 27th, all the way through July 1st, there will be an event happening EACH DAY that will be a chance for all of us to be in community with one another while organizing and mobilizing for the troublesome times ahead. Make sure to sign up and we’ll see you there. Please also help to spread the word about life-saving healthcare resources that can help patients seeking abortion right now! Use this guide to find information and resources on abortion access in Nevada and share it with anyone who might need it. I hope that this can provide a healthy outlet for the rage we are all feeling at this moment. In solidarity,
