Burlington Women's March 10/08/2022

From Women's March:

Burlington Women's March on October 8, 2022 at 2 p.m. at City Hall on Church St. Join the fight for our future and freedom.

We rally in support of
(1) the Reproductive Liberty Amendment (Article 22);
(2) the passage of a shield law in Vermont to protect telemedicine workers providing reproductive services to people in states where abortion is restricted/banned; and
(3) Reproductive Justice for everyone.

Join us, vote for the RLA, agitate for a shield law, and organize to make reproductive justice a reality. It is time for solidarity. It is time to unite. It is time to rise up and protect our rights!
