Fight Back for Abortion Rights!
 

🌹 Atlanta Abortion Fund Canvassing 🌹

Atlanta Needs a City Abortion Fund. City Council may allocate $300,000 to pay for travel and medical expenses for Atlantans who need abortion. Join us to knock doors, talk with neighbors, and gather petition signatures in support of making abortion accessible and free for all! Saturday, July 9th at 10am. Coan Park. 1563 Hosea L Williams Dr NE Atlanta, GA 30317. RSVP @ atldsa.org/abortionfund.

Abortion is Healthcare and a Human Right. DSA stands against the Supreme Court's undemocratic assault on reproductive rights. We call on Atlanta City Council to use their money and power to directly fund abortion access. Learn more about the proposal here. Please join us this Saturday July 9th at 10:00 AM to knock doors and speak with Atlanta residents about the fight to make abortion accessible and unconditionally free for all!

 

🌹 Protect Abortion Training #1 🌹

Monday, July 11th @ 8:00 PM - Our bodies, our lives, our rights, and our democracy are on the line as the ruling class seeks to control our reproductive labor and outlaws abortion. As socialists, we know this is but their first step and we are not the only ones in their sights. We know a mass movement is the only thing that can save us. And we know only we, the people, can build that movement.

This is the first of a two-part training series. The first call will be an overview of the legal and political landscape and an introduction to tools for assessing your own community and state: who has power and where does it come from, who is active on this issue both allies and opponents, etc. 

 

RSVP to watch on zoom OR join us for an in person viewing at 711 Catherine St SW
