Action 2: Emergency Response to Supreme Court Abortion Ruling
We do not know which weekday the Court will issue its ruling. It will most likely be this month. Whichever day the Court rules, we ask that everyone who supports legal abortion gather at Chicago's Federal Plaza (Adams & Dearborn Streets) for an emergency response to the Court's ruling.
By threatening legal abortion even in states that have laws protecting it, the court is slamming the door in the face of millions of women and gender non-conforming people, hitting Black, Brown, and Indigenous people the hardest. It is putting at risk all LGBTQ rights, the right to contraception, and even the right to interracial marriage.
If the court goes through with its threat, this will be the first time in US history that the Court has taken away rights previously guaranteed. To say that this is a horrible precedent and a huge step backward for all of us is a gross understatement.
We will NOT silently accept a right-wing attack on abortion that opens the door to attacks on the rights of all women, LGBTQs, Black and Brown people, and all working-class people. WE MUST RESPOND by taking to the streets. This is the way our rights have always been won. This is the way that they must be defended.
Help tell Washington that we will not silently allow decades of progress to be swept away. On the day that the Court issues its decision, that night, drop everything and assemble at Chicago's Federal Plaza (Adams & Dearborn Streets) at 5:30 pm. Follow this Facebook event for updates.
