YWCA Boulder County and partnering advocacy groups will host a march for reproductive health rights on Saturday in downtown Boulder.
Participants are asked to meet at 9 a.m. in front of the Boulder County Courthouse, 1325 Pearl St. on the Pearl Street Mall. The march will start at about 9:45 a.m. following a short opening program.
The march is in response to the recent leaked draft of the Supreme Court opinion indicating that Roe v. Wade may be overturned.
“We’re ready for this fight and have proudly defended a woman’s right to make decisions about her body for more than 50 years,” Debbie Pope, CEO of YWCA Boulder County, said in a statement. “Abortion bans disproportionately impact young women and young women of color, push young women out of the workplace, limit their education and careers, and would significantly undermine all the progress women have made during the last 50 years.”
The event is free but organizers are asking that attendees register for the event beforehand at action.ywcaboulder.org/campaign/reproductive-rights-advocacy-may-2022/c406189.
