Calling All Feminists:  Pro-Choice March in the South Bronx to Defend Reproductive Freedom
Celebrate Roe v Wade – 39 Years of Choice
Saturday January 21, 11:00 am.

Dr Emily Women’s Health Center 560 Southern Blvd, in the Bronx.
(6 train to E. 149th or BX-19 bus to Southern Blvd./E. 149th).

Attacks on a woman’s right to control her body are on the rise, from daily harassment at abortion clinics to regressive legislative maneuvers.
Join us for a Pro-Choice march from Dr Emily Women’s Health Center, through the South Bronx neighborhood, to one of the nearby “Crisis Pregnancy Centers.”  This center is the hub for many of the anti-choice organizers who harass women outside of Dr Emily clinic on a daily basis.

We’ll be gathering at Dr Emily Women’s Health Center at 11 am (come earlier if you wish, escort training will be provided) and setting off on the march at around 12 pm.

Rally to Save Birth Control!
Health care reform will let many women access birth control without copay.

But the White House might be caving to pressure from ultraconservative forces. Women whose bosses oppose birth control are at risk of having that coverage taken away.

Join NARAL Pro-Choice New York, Planned Parenthood of NYC, the New York Civil Liberties Union, NOW-NYC, Sistersong NYC, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, National Organization for Women (NOW) NY State and NOW NY State Young Feminist Task Force and others on Thursday for an emergency rally at the federal building in Manhattan, which houses the Health and Human Services regional office, to send a message to the White House that all women should have access to affordable birth control regardless of where they work!
