Comrades!
We are facing virulent?attacks on our
rights. Nationally, we are in crisis. Nearly half of states have
already or are planning to implement bans on abortion and limits to
reproductive healthcare.?Despite California's progressive
abortion laws, we still suffer from large deserts of abortion and
reproductive care outside of our major cities.
It is the reversal of Roe by the radical
Supreme Court that has galvanized women and others to organize a major
fightback to the incremental attacks on our democratic rights.

In addition to forming our EBDSA Committee
to Defend Abortion, EBDSA comrades have been organizing with Peralta
Federation of Teachers, OEA, Planned Parenthood Advocates Mar Monte,
rank-and-file unionists and community activists to organize against
the radical Supreme Court. We began by hosting a Labor Day picnic and
teach-in at Lake Merritt that was attended by over fifty activists.
From there, we answered the Woman's March call for a Weekend of Action
by organizing an
Abortion
is a Human Right Rally this Saturday, October 8th from 10am-12pm at
Frank Ogawa Plaza.?

We know a rally won't overturn decades of
right wing organizing, but coming together is always the first step.
Join
us this Saturday to begin rebuilding a bottom-up movement for
democracy and freedom!
