Coalition for Reproductive Justice Event

Tuesday, January 21, at 3:30 p.m.
Please show your support for Choice and join Coalition Members in the Rotunda at the State House.

This is conceived as an event, not a rally.  Tentatively we want to let the community know what the Coalition stands for- what does reproductive justice mean?  And we determined that having a “moderator” introduce the event, followed by 4 speakers, including one of faith, a physician, and a politician would be the format.
