The time is right for a public demonstration of historic size in support of reproductive
freedom and justice for all women. Threats to these rights have never been so
systematic and coordinated, and the lives and health of women have never faced
such peril. On April 25th, in our Nation’s Capitol we march to uphold - Choice,
Justice, Access, Health, Abortion, Global and Family Planning.

For the first time ever this pro-choice march is a collaborative effort - seven
leading national women’s rights groups have come together to organize this momentous
event. The American Civil Liberties Union, Black Women’s Health Imperative, Feminist
Majority, NARAL Pro-Choice America, National Latina Institute for Reproductive
Health, National Organization for Women and Planned Parenthood Federation of
America are the principal organizers of the March for Women’s Lives and have
pooled efforts and resources to lay the groundwork. Other progressive organizations
have signed on as co-sponsors - offering everything from member participation
to help spreading the word and help defraying costs.

Assembly for the morning rally will begin at 10:00 AM, on the national mall between
the Smithsonian museums (between 3rd St. and 14th). The march will begin at noon.
After marching on Washington, a rally will be held from 1-4 p.m. on the National
Mall. Special seating will be available for people with disabilities. The rally
program will be interpreted in American Sign Language. The route is wheelchair
accessible and transportation will be provided for those who cannot negotiate
the route.
