Rally for Abortion rights, Trans rights and bodily autonomy

June 24, Philadelphia, PA

 

Rally June 24 demanding abortion rights, trans rights, and bodily autonomy for all by opposing the anti-abortion “march for life” on the one-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision.

 

The rally and speakout started at Franklin Square (200 N. 6th St) and then marched to defend patients accessing health care at a nearby abortion provider under threat of anti-abortion fascists.

 

In the current legislative session, anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been proposed or are advancing in nearly every state. These bills contain measures from bans on gender affirming care to censorship laws prohibiting discussions in schools about LGBTQ+ people. On June 6, the Human Rights Campaign declared a national state of emergency for LGBTQ+ individuals.

 

Since the Dobbs decision one year ago, fourteen states have implemented complete abortion bans, and several other states have attempted or are still attempting to implement bans. The criminalization of abortion and gender affirming care are attacks on our bodily autonomy and our ability to access necessary health care.

 

We MUST fight back against these attacks on human rights and the complacency that allows them to continue and escalate.
