Emergency Action on Abortion Bans
▪ Join the Fight Against State Abortion Bans--Stop the Bans Demonstrations, Tuesday, May 21
▪ Adding New Location in Westchester, Noon, May 21
Several states have declared war on women's health--again. But this time, they are raising the ante. States have enacted unconstitutional bans against abortion--like the heartbeat bill in Ohio--and are openly seeking the overthrow of Roe v. Wade in the courts. Alabama's bill effectively bans abortion in the state. Enough! Planned Parenthood, ACLU, NARAL, among other organizations, have organized demonstrations across the country to Stop the Bans.
Please join us today at noon in White Plains:
When: Tuesday, May 21st, 12 noon
Where: Federal Courthouse, 300 Quarropas Street, White Plains 10601
When: Tuesday, May 21st, 5:30pm
Where: 111 Worth Street, New York, NY 10013 (Foley Square) #StoptheBans www.stopabortionbans.org/

I was pleased to have the opportunity to present WESPAC to the Old Guard of Westchester. I talked about our founders. So proud that Connie Hogarth continues to work for peace and justice and will receive an honorary degree from Manhattanville College today. ❤️. I will share video footage when it is ready.
