Stand Up for Reproductive Justice!<br>
Counter the Anti-Choice, Anti-Woman Right Wing!<br><br>
SATURDAY, JANUARY 22ND<br><br>
10 AM RALLY AT POWELL & MARKET, SAN FRANCISCO<br>
(11am-march to Embarcadero)<br>
1PM MEET AT AQUATIC PARK (near Fort Mason) FOR COUNTER
DEMONSTRATION<br><br>
January 22nd, 2005 will be the 32nd anniversary of the Roe v Wade court
decision that established a constitutional right to reproductive freedom
in the United States. The right-wing is seizing upon this day to advance
their agenda against women's rights. "Walk for Life West
Coast", an anti-choice event, is organizing a march in San Francisco
(see their website for all the gory details:
<a href="http://www.walkforlifewc.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.walkforlifewc.com<br><br>
</a>Let's show them that their right wing, anti-women agenda is not
welcome in our community. This is the same agenda that criminalizes
immigrants, denies same-sex marriage, and denounces queer people and
their families. Let us take this opportunity to re-affirm our
commitment to justice and dignity for all people.<br><br>
Join us in standing up for reproductive justice and demonstrate that our
city is Pro-Choice, Pro-Queer, Pro-Immigrant, and that we will fight
back.<br><br>
The Anti-choice event begins with speakers at 11am at Justin Herman
Plaza, followed by a march to Marina Green. Go to
