Ensure Abortion Access Happy hour
In Person
World of Beer, Rockville Town Center West
196 E Montgomery Ave #B, Rockville, MD 20850
On June 24th, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, overruling decades of protections for reproductive rights and triggering abortion bans across the country. This ruling endangers all pregnant people by depriving them of fundamental rights. Access to abortion care is vital. Abortion is still legal in Maryland. We heard from many who want to do something.
MCMDNOW's Reproductive Justice Task Force has learned of some ways that we can make a difference in abortion access for all—in our county, in our state, and for people who need to travel here for access. We would like to share these ideas with you at an in-person happy hour in Rockville.
Join us to show your support and to find out more about ways you can make a difference locally and on behalf of those who may need our local abortion services.
Enjoy the company and conversation of feminist friends!
Legislators invited to let us know how you will protect abortion access in Montgomery County and Maryland!
