Irrepressible, loud, irreverent - and green! Look at all of these beautiful faces. 350+ converged along Ala Moana Blvd the Federal Building on May 4 & 5 in response to the Draft Decision overturning Roe v.

Chanting "Control over women is what they want - angry women is what they got" and "Abortion on Demand & Without Apology," their anger - and their joy - was contagious. Older women wiped away tears of joy as young women joined them to continue the fight. People talked together about what this means for women, for gay and trans rights and more. Many rang bells, whistled, and beat on noisemakers.

We often read that 75% of people in the U.S. support Roe v. Wade - but Saturday evening we saw it and felt it. This is what people WANT to see. Get ready for the WEEK OF ACTION May 8-14 and spread the contagion!
