STOP the Supreme Court from Taking Away Abortion Rights!
The highest court in the world’s most powerful country stands poised to rip from women their fundamental right to control their bodies, their reproduction, and their destinies.
We refuse to be bystanders as the
state shatters women’s lives. Extinguishes their dreams. Hijacks their
bodies. Forces girls to bear their rapists’ babies. Invades the lives of
Black, Brown, young and poor women with special viciousness.
Accelerates a fascist assault on contraception, LGBTQ people, voting
rights, Black history and Black people, and more. Not just in the “red”
states, but nationwide – strengthening the tides of anti-woman
fundamentalisms and fascism around the world.
Monday, June 13, 2022: Come to the Supreme Court in DC and Stay.
Imagine: Every day, more and more
people pouring into the capital. Amassing at the Supreme Court. All
night vigils. Protests. Hunger strikes. People by the thousands and tens
of thousands returning day after day. The Green Bandana of abortion
rights worn and waved everywhere. On Mondays, when the Supreme
Court typically releases decisions, the Capitol and Court become so
surrounded by masses of women, men, people of all genders and
nationalities and backgrounds that it becomes clear to all in power that
we will sooner bring the gears of society to a grinding halt through
mass nonviolent resistance than allow the right to abortion to be taken
away.
Those behind this assault are counting on our silence. We must not give it to them.
Even fascist women-haters worry about losing
the perceived legitimacy of their institutions and their system when
they are faced with truly massive, un-ignorable and unrelenting
nonviolent resistance. And, if even in the face of our
determined opposition, the Court still revokes abortion rights, we will
be in a far stronger position to continue the struggle for women’s
freedom for having dared to RISE UP.
The whole world is watching. Let them see our courage.
This will not be easy. But the courts and
politicians have failed to stop this attack. And a world where women are
subordinate to the state, where wombs are regulated by the government
and treated as potential “crime scenes,” must not be tolerated.
Let our visible courage call forth the
courage of others. Let our righteous fury awaken the suppressed fury of
millions of women and girls and all who love justice. Let our
willingness to put it on the line not only defeat this crime against
women while there is still a chance to do so, but also forge us into a
more daring, deeply connected and justice-seeking people while building a future where women and all people are free.
If not now, then when? If not all of us together, then who? The future depends on what we do – or fail to do – during these momentous days.
Let us act with boldness, daring and courage. Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights!
Forced Motherhood = Female Enslavement!
Abortion On Demand & Without Apology!
