Stand Up for Reproductive Justice!
Counter the Anti-Choice, Anti-Woman Right Wing!

SATURDAY, JANUARY 22ND

10 AM RALLY AT POWELL & MARKET, SAN FRANCISCO
(11am-march to Embarcadero)
1PM MEET AT AQUATIC PARK (near Fort Mason) FOR COUNTER DEMONSTRATION

January 22nd, 2005 will be the 32nd anniversary of the Roe v Wade court 
decision that established a constitutional right to reproductive freedom in 
the United States. The right-wing is seizing upon this day to advance their 
agenda against women's rights.  "Walk for Life West Coast", an anti-choice 
event, is organizing a march in San Francisco (see their website for all 
the gory details: http://www.walkforlifewc.com

Let's show them that their right wing, anti-women agenda is not welcome in 
our community. This is the same agenda that criminalizes immigrants, denies 
same-sex marriage, and denounces queer people and their families.  Let us 
take this opportunity to re-affirm our commitment to justice and dignity 
for all people.

Join us in standing up for reproductive justice and demonstrate that our 
city is Pro-Choice, Pro-Queer, Pro-Immigrant, and that we will fight back.

The Anti-choice event begins with speakers at 11am at Justin Herman Plaza, 
followed by a march to Marina Green. Go to www.jan22action.riseup.net for 
updates on planning for the counter demonstration. Or contact 
jan22action at riseup.net.
