Action Alert
March For Women's Lives
Dear Friends,
Join hundreds of thousands of marchers in Washington,
DC on April 25th as we demand reproductive justice. The time is right
for a public demonstration of historic size in support of reproductive
freedom and justice for all women. Threats to these rights have never
been so systematic and coordinated, and the lives and health of women
have never faced such peril.
On April 25th, in our Nation's Capitol we march to
uphold - Choice, Justice, Access, Health, Abortion, Global and Family
Planning. Please join us for the March for Women's Lives.
Visit www.marchforwomen.org to form a delegation and
for more information.

*************************************************************
On Saturday March 13, there will be a forum on Reproductive
Justice and Rights
at Sisterspace & Books from 1-3pm. Many are aware that there will
be a herstorical
march in support of reproductive rights, justice and
choice. There are varied
but strong feelings about this issue. Is it only about
abortion? What does
choice imply? Can I be against abortion personally,
yet still be a supporter
of reproductive rights? What is reproductive justice?
Should women of color
be involved?
Join with speakers from organizations and the community
in dialog. Make a decision
to sign up and become a part of the Sisterspace Delegation
being organized as
part of the national Women of Color Delegation which
will be comprised of women
of color and people of color from all across the country.
WPFW radio at 89.3
FM will broadcast this forum LIVE over the airwaves
as part of their International
Women's Day activities. There will be a call-in section
of the Forum, so those
of you at home, work, or on your cell phone can call
in with a question for the
panel. Please listen and then call starting at 2:05
pm at 202-588-0893. The
call-in section will go from 2:08pm – 2:30pm. Call with a question
to help liven
up the discussion, and motivate people to organize
a delegation for the March.
