RE: Pro-choice Rally and Counter-protest on the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade
Rally starts at Pier #1 (Embarcadero and Market Streets) at 11:00am Saturday, January 21, 11:00am, to be followed at 12:00pm by a counter-protest along the Embarcadero waterfront.
Bay Area community activists are convening a broad-based “Stand for Reproductive Justice – Women’s Rights are Human Rights!” celebration and counter-picket opposing the second annual “Walk for Life - West Coast" march in San Francisco on January 21 – the 33rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
“Women know better than to return to the deadly days of illegal abortions – the overwhelming majority of the Bay Area is opposed to the ‘Walk for Life’ organizers’ anti-choice, anti-birth control, anti-equality, and anti-gay-marriage platform. U.S. must feminists re-ignite a movement like the one that secured abortion rights in 1973, and hit the streets in self-defense,” said Elizabeth Creely, clinic defender and organizer for the Bay Area Coalition for Our Reproductive Rights.
