John —
This past weekend we took to the streets. Thousands of women showed up at over 200 marches across the country!
We raised hell. We showed politicians and the anti-abortion movement that we are organized, united, and stronger than ever.
And we made the f*cking headlines. Take a look at some of our favorites:
New York Times: Women’s March Holds Nationwide Rallies on 50th Anniversary of Roe
In Madison, Wis., the day’s marquee event, thousands of women bundled in thick coats and pink hats marched down State Street, the crowd quickly doubling, then tripling in size despite the 26-degree cold.
The Associated Press: ‘Here again’: Abortion activists rally 50 years after Roe
From beach cities to snow-covered streets, abortion supporters rallied by the thousands on Sunday to demand protections for reproductive rights and mark the 50th anniversary of the now-overturned Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision that established federal protections for the procedure.
USA Today: After Roe v. Wade, nationwide Women's Marches focus on state-level fight for abortion rights
Organizers of the National Women's March picked Wisconsin's capital city for the organization's annual rally to put the state's upcoming Supreme Court race under a political magnifying glass, underscoring the election's importance to the abortion debate in places such as Wisconsin where doctors could face felony criminal charges for performing the procedure now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned.
We did this, John.
To every person reading this email: Thank you for your involvement in this movement. Thank you for showing up, speaking out, and donating what you can, when you can.
Because WE show up for US – and the world is taking notice.
There are many more fights to come – in the streets, at the voting booth, and at state capitols all over the country. Help us grow our impact and our movement with a contribution of any amount.
Thank you,
All of us at Women’s March HQ
