DESCRIPTION:Alameda protest: 
 https://action.womensmarch.com/events/bigger-than-roe-alameda-1\n\nWe are 
 ALL born free and equal in dignity and rights. The Supreme Court of the 
 U.S. and the United States Congress have failed in their obligation to 
 protect, respect, and uphold our human rights. The Women's Wave delivered a 
 blow to anti-freedom politicians in the 2022 midterms, and now we are 
 taking the fight out of D.C. and into every single state in this 
 country.\n\nOn January 22, 2023, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, as we 
 mourn the loss of nearly 50 years of constitutional protections, we send 
 another clear message:\n\nThe midterms were just the beginning. We are not 
 going gently. We are taking our fight to every state house and every state 
 legislator in this country. We are putting all politicians at every level 
 of government on notice: If you come for our families, our freedoms, or our 
 future, we are coming for your seat. \n\nOur movement is strong. Our 
 movement is growing. Our movement is Bigger than Roe.\n\n\nWE CALL ON STATE 
 AND LOCAL LEADERS TO: \n\n1. Protect Our Freedoms\n\nAnti-freedom 
 politicians want to control us and deny us our rights: to decide if and 
 when we grow our families, to choose who we love and marry.\nWe call on our 
 elected leaders to keep government regulations out of our bodies and our 
 bedrooms. Reverse abortion bans and expand people’s access to 
 reproductive healthcare.\nOur local and state legislators should be passing 
 laws to help people, not control them.\n\n\n2. Support Working 
 Families\n\n-Most of us have felt the strain of inflation on our wallets, 
 whether it's gas, groceries, or tampons.\n-The same corporations that hold 
 down our wages are bragging to their Wall St. shareholders that they’re 
 making bank by raising our prices.\n-Our leaders must side with working 
 families against greedy politicians who demonize those of us struggling to 
 make ends meet, trying to get us to blame each other for the hardships 
 their corporate donors create.\n-We are counting on our leaders to make 
 wealthy corporations pay what they owe our state through taxes, so we can 
 make our country a place where we all have what we need to overcome our 
 challenges & keep our families safe & well.\n\n\n3. Side With the 
 Future\n\n-Whether we are Black or white, Asian or Latina, gay, straight or 
 trans, Native or newcomer, most of us want the same things: To be able to 
 support ourselves and our families, to live healthy lives in safe and 
 supportive communities.\n-But manipulative politicians are campaigning on 
 hate and lies, sowing fear and division that threatens our future.\n-We 
 call on our elected leaders to stand on the right side of history and side 
 with the future against hateful bans that that target our neighbors, strip 
 away our rights, and take us backward.\n-Our legislators must protect 
 children’s freedom to learn, to be themselves and pursue their dreams, no 
 matter what they look like, how they identify, or where they come from. We 
 must defend our teachers, healthcare workers, and everyone who is part of 
 the village that it takes to raise a child. Our future depends on it.\n\n
