On Friday, the president took a huge step forward for women’s health, finally requiring insurance companies to treat women equally by covering contraception costs.1
But believe it or not, Republican presidential candidates and legislators are fighting against that basic healthcare need, as well as supporting extreme restrictions on reproductive care.2 And because this is an election year, women’s health and reproductive justice are in the spotlight.
That’s why we’re joining over 50 organizations in the Trust Women online march. Millions of women and men across the country support comprehensive healthcare for women and reproductive freedom.3 This online march is a way for us to stand in solidarity, show our numbers, and send a strong message to elected officials that we’re watching and we vote.
We’ll deliver your message, along with those of all the other marchers, to Congress and other elected officials to make a difference for women’s health and reproductive justice at the national and state level.
Now is the time to speak out. Over 86% of counties do not have an abortion service provider, funding for women’s health care is increasingly restricted, and several states are seeking to pass “personhood” statutes which would criminalize abortion and even miscarriage.4
When you join the online march, you’ll be able to see messages from people marching around the country, and choose your own message to send in support of comprehensive women’s health care.
