October 2 March to Defend Reproductive Rights
We are joining the October 2 march hosted by the non-partisan group, Women's Voices of SW Florida. Marches are happening all over the country this day to defend reproductive rights. Here in Manatee, four of our County Commissioners continue to push an anti-abortion ordinance in a dangerous political game, even though our county has no abortion clinics.
The march begins at Rossi Park (452 3rd Ave West) near Bradenton Riverwalk and will march for about a mile. This is a peaceful event - bring your signs and your passion for women's rights, but please be respectful.
DWC October 2 Rally to Defend Reproductive Rights
This event is hosted by the Democratic Women's Club of Manatee. Come out to let our US Congressman Vern Buchanan know that we care about women’s choice and support our right to make our own decisions about our bodies. We need him to vote for legislation to PROTECT women’s right to terminate a pregnancy, not oppose it. This is a National ACTION and we can be a part of it locally.
Bring your own homemade signs to wave with pro-choice messages.
Meet in front of Congressman Buchanan's office:
1051 Manatee Avenue West (near the Old Courthouse park)
Saturday, October 2, 11 am
Lend a Hand
We are a diverse group of dedicated volunteers with many ways to get involved. Use this quick form to tell us your interests. We will get back to you with more info. Thank you!
