DESCRIPTION:For 10 years (prior to Covid) Occupella (https://www.occupella.org/) led 
 songs at the weekly Monday Tax the Rich rallies in front of the closed Oaks 
 Theater on Solano. We're back on January 20!\n\nHere's your chance to lend 
 your voice in song for the Women's March event - though we'll be staying in 
 one place.  Bring songs to share and Occupella will bring songs as 
 well.\n\nWhere: Site of former Tax the Rich Rallies - Solano Avenue in 
 front of the \nold Oaks Theater in Berkeley\n\nWhen: Saturday, January 20, 
 2024 at 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM \n\n\nWOMEN'S MARCH MOBILIZATION\n\nWomen Rise 
 Up! In defiance of history, polls, and pundits, the story of women's 
 resilience rewrites the narrative. The 2022 elections, predicted to be a 
 disaster for Democrats, instead showcased the strength of a united front of 
 women. In 2023, abortion won big again, in ballot initiatives and elections 
 all across the country.\n\nWhen we bet on women, everyone wins.\n\nContrary 
 to pundit predictions, the fall of Roe v. Wade did not dampen our momentum. 
 It instead galvanized it, proving that our fight extends beyond any single 
 court decision. Women’s March has always recognized what is now evident: 
 the pivotal factor in these battles is not just the fall of Roe; it is the 
 collective power of women.\n\nWomen’s lives encompass more than Roe. Our 
 vision of reproductive freedom transcends it. Women, especially those under 
 50, along with voters under 30, perceived the 2022 midterms and 2023 
 elections as crucial turning points for our nation. We responded by turning 
 out in unprecedented numbers, delivering a clear verdict against the 
 divisive rhetoric of MAGA extremism.\n\nAs we approach January 22, 2024, 
 the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we reaffirm our commitment to reproductive 
 freedom for all. We are just getting started. Our campaign extends to every 
 state, every legislator, challenging politicians at all levels: if you 
 threaten our families, our freedoms, or our future, we will unseat you. We 
 will not stop until we win.\n\nDrawing inspiration from recent ballot 
 measures, we have witnessed a powerful truth: when abortion rights are on 
 the ballot, we win. These victories illuminate a fundamental reality: a 
 Supermajority of Americans supports reproductive freedom.\n\nOn January 20, 
 2024, we unite to send an unequivocal message: Our resolve is unyielding. 
 Our movement is not just about Roe; it is about safeguarding the rights and 
 freedoms for all, now and for future generations. We are the majority, and 
 our voices will be heard.\n\nOn January 20, 2024, we're marching in all 50 
 states with priority on the nine states where abortion rights will be 
 directly on the ballot. This march is a strategic intervention to galvanize 
 voters for the 2024 elections. We're showing up to secure abortion access 
 and counter far-right extremism. Join us in the state-by-state battle to 
 defend our rights shape our future.\n\n
