Defend Abortion Rights in NC
With the Dobbs decision gutting the right to abortion in the United States it is more important than ever to defend them locally. As one of the few southern states without a so-called "trigger law" North Carolina will become a destination for people seeking abortions.
We are organizing a campaign to pressure our elected officials and make sure they defend abortion patients. The first step is a weekend protest we will organize with your help so more people in the community learn how to plan a protest and what are some of the things to look out for. We'll start with a Zoom call next week to get the ball rolling!
- State representatives
- Pass bills SB 888 and HB 1119 codifying Roe V Wade
