Make your voice heard on October 3 -- the anniversary of Jiménez death from a back-alley abortion after the Hyde Amendment was passed in 1977. October is also the beginning of the fall session of the U.S. Supreme Court, which will hear a a Mississippi case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which is a dangerous challenge to Roe v. Wade, the case that legalized abortion.
The Seattle action will be based on the strong, intersectional demands developed by the national organizing group:
-Protect & expand Roe v. Wade; safe, legal abortion on demand without apology
-Repeal the Hyde Amendment
-Overturn state barriers to reproductive choices
-Stop forced sterilization
-No to caged kids, forced assimilation, & child welfare abuses
-End medical & environmental racism; for universal healthcare
-Defend queer & trans families
-Guarantee medically sound sex education & affordable childcare
-Uphold social progress with expanded voting rights & strong unions
