sathari: (Waiting for ourselves)

In response to the rash (dare I say plague) of draconian abortion bans oozing out of various state legislatures in the US, The ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and a bunch of other excellent organizations are organizing "#StopTheBans" events around the country, some of them starting this weekend, although the official protest date is this Tuesday. You can check for an event or events near you here: #StopTheBans (Even states that aren't joining in this assault on the rights of anyone with a uterus have events, so even if you're in a sane state, have a look.) (ETA: There are some events internationally as well--- several in Canada and one in ROME--- not Rome, GA, but ROME as in ITALY. And I am not even halfway through scrolling through these, so even if you're not in the US, have a look.)

Puttin' on my marchin' shoes....

Thanks for sharing that! I see that Toronto and Vancouver are hosting marches in solidarity, which is awesome. At least 12 members of Canada's Conservative party (11 of whom are men) have vowed to ban abortion in Canada, so the crazy is spreading.
