Saturday Jan 26: All Out to protest the "Walk for Life" -- They want to enslave and terrorize women like the Klan wanted to enslave and terrorize Black people. Think about it: if the KKK was marching in your town, what would you do? Rise Up for Abortion Rights On the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade:
Saturday, Jan 26th in San Francisco
10am - Justin Herman Plaza, SF - Mobilize attendees of SF's celebration of women's right to abortion to confront the war on women and protest the "Walk for Life" at 1 pm.
12pm - UN Plaza, SF - Rally to Oppose the "Walk for Life"
1pm – Powell & Market, SF - Protest and Confront the “Walk for Life”
The following was posted on the January 26 protest Facebook page: ““Our plan has gotten a little more complex. We will go to the Celebration called for by the City of SF to COMPEL OTHERS to join us in RESISTING the Walk for Life (10am). We will still rally at UN Plaza and be joined by Radical Women and anyone else who hates patriarchy (12pm noon). Then we will go to our position at Powell and Market to be READY to confront the Walk for "Life" (March for Forced Motherhood) as it passes (1pm). JOIN US and BRING OTHERS!”
The SF Bay Guardian reports that “One Billion Rising” is organizing a “flash mob” to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade as part of the January 26 “Women Life & Liberty” celebration marking the Anniversary 10am at Justin Herman Plaza in SF: www.sfbg.com/politics/2013/01/22/roe-v-wade-anniversary-inspires-flash-mob-pro-choice-rally-and-pro-life-march-sf.
We’ll be going and discussing / struggling with people over the need to fight to recognize that abortion rights are under assault, that it’s urgent to fight to defend them and fight the entire war on women – including by confronting the “antis” later that day a few blocks away.
