Dear Women Lawyers on Guard Action Network,
Saturday, Jan 18 10 AM – we will be at the “People’s March” in DC – come join us
BUT IF YOU WILL NOT BE IN DC, here is a link to other locations where you can participate as well: Women’s March
Please let us know if you will join us in DC (we will send you a location and time to meet) and do please pass this on to your networks.
We sometimes march for different reasons, but as a continuation of the Women’s Marches begun in 2017, this is a “peoples march” to defend our rights and our future. Here’s how the organizers describe it:
“If you believe that decisions about your body should remain yours, that books belong in libraries, not on bonfires, that healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy; if you believe in the power of free speech and protest to sustain democracy; or if you want an economy that works for the people who power it—then join us in DC for this march.”
Supporting organizations include National Women’s Law Center; National Organization for Women, Center for Constitutional Rights, Planned Parenthood, Ultraviolet, and many others.
Last week I saw the Broadway musical “Suffs”. You may recall that some Suffragists, led by Alice Paul, chained themselves to the White House fence, were arrested, went on a hunger strike and were force fed by the prison guards. We are not asking you do to anything like this!
But please let us know if you will join us in this rally! (Appropriate privacy measures will be taken.)
Cory
