Defend Reproductive Rights.<BR><BR>Take to the streets to put a stop to the attacks on women and girls. Show the government and an emboldened religious right that women, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, workers, people of color, immigrants and the disabled should be treated with respect. We are the majority - our rights and needs should be prioritized and expanded. With the appointment of John Roberts to the Supreme Court and the nomination of anti-abortionist Sam Alito, the stakes are raised to keep the gains won through the Civil Rights and feminist movements.<BR><BR>We will never go back.<BR><BR>In this year alone, the Bay Area has been attacked by the rightwing fundamentalists numerous times. Three clinics and one doctor have been harassed and the right believes that they have a base of support in our area. Let's show them otherwise. We need to defend ourselves.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><BR><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Join us to say that we will not tolerate interference with a woman's control over her own body.<BR><BR>Women have no intention of being reduced to incubators. Without their fundamental rights women are reduced to slave status. The days of the coathangers are over. People of all genders want affordable health care, childcare, jobs, a living wage and peace.
