Please RSVP HERE and
let us know you will join us Wednesday, Feb. 1, 3 pm at the RI State House for our Reproductive Freedom Advocacy Day.
State Senator Gayle Goldin and State Representative Edith
Ajello will announce the introduction of legislation to put Roe
vs Wade into law.
Join us Wednesday to ask our elected officials, including Governor
Gina Raimondo, Senate
President M. Teresa Paiva-Weed, and House
Speaker Nicholas Mattiello, to stand up for reproductive rights and to
the attacks on our freedom coming from President Trump and his allies.
Rhode Islanders overwhelmingly support keeping abortion
legal. The Pew Research
Center has found that 63% of Rhode Island residents support
keeping abortion legal in all or most cases, while only 31% feel the
opposite way.
However, despite this support, there is no state law
that protects the right to abortion. In fact, Rhode Island was given
an F
by NARAL for our reproductive rights laws. The Guttmacher
Institute calls us the only state hostile to
abortion rights in New England. And far too
many of our elected oficials are anti-choice.
It is time to fight for change.

Forwarded message:
On Saturday, 7,000 Rhode Islanders came together at the
State House to celebrate our power and demand our elected leaders take
action to protect our rights.
Over 900 people signed up to be involved with Planned
Parenthood and the movement for reproductive freedom!
You can see videos of our amazing speakers and photos from
the event on our Facebook
page.
Now, we must continue building our movement. Will you
stand with us again on Feb 1 to demand our elected leaders, including the
Governor and the Rhode Island General Assembly, take action to protect
reproductive rights and access in RI?
