Reproductive Health Act: Union Square Tabling Event
Saturday, August 16th, Union Square
Come join NOW-NYC's Reproductive Rights activist group to collect signatures for the Reproductive Health Act! Currently, there is no law in New York State that ensures women's access to abortion, and the Reproductive Health Act aims to change that. This is especially important since the Bush administration continues to chip away at women's access to reproductive health services, and we need a safeguard for New York in case Roe is overturned. We are working to build a critical mass of cosponsors in the state assembly on this legislation. More details will be coming soon, and please email Maureen at mshaw826@gmail.com if you are interested. Click here for more info on the Reproductive Health Act.
