Our Rights Are Under Attack. The Time to Act is NOW

More Than 100 Celebrities Join The March For Women’s
Lives Coalition

Our Rights Are Under Attack. The Time to Act is NOW.

The time is right for a public demonstration of
historic size in support of abortion rights and
reproductive freedom for all women. Our rights are
under attack as they haven’t been in over a decade, and
Roe v. Wade hangs by a thread in the Supreme Court.

Join NOW in Washington D.C. on April 25, 2004, along
with the American Civil Liberties Union, Black Women’s
Health Imperative, Feminist Majority Foundation, NARAL
Pro-Choice America, National Latina Institute for
Reproductive Health and Planned Parenthood Federation
of America, at the most significant and massive
abortion rights march in over a decade.

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.

Why You Should March

On April 25, we must tell the world that women’s health
and lives are truly on the line. We need your help to
make this march a wake up call to every person who does
not realize that reproductive rights are in danger. We
must demonstrate the depth and diversity of our
support. Your presence will ensure that our voices are
louder, our numbers are larger and our resolve is
stronger. With your participation, the March for
Women’s Lives will prove that we are a force to be
reckoned with and will launch a powerful new campaign
to protect our rights on every front.

Be a Part of History

We are Marching for Women’s Lives to demand political
and social justice for women and girls regardless of
their age, race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, economic
status, sexual orientation or ability. This March is
for young and older women, straight women and lesbians,
sons and fathers, able and disabled, rich and poor - to
stand side by side in a show of unity and
determination.

We are prepared to protect our right to abortion, birth
control and all reproductive health services, as well
as our right to have children and plan our own families
without government interference. We will never go back
to the days before Roe v. Wade when women died from
illegal abortions.

Marches can make a difference. The March for Women’s
Lives will be a galvanizing event at a critical time in
our nation. This may be the day we all look back on and
say, "That’s when we turned the corner toward winning
full reproductive rights for all women."

whose lives have been touched by the issue of abortion
