Planned Parenthood Mar Monte will join organizations across the South Bay
for a rally and visibility event this evening. Bring a sign and make your
voices heard!
What: Save the Supreme Court Rally and Visibility
When: 5:00 PM, Friday, July 1
Where: San Jose Federal Building 280 S. First Street (corner of First and
San Carlos) San Jose, CA
Update: The rally was great -- good turnout and lots of people honking their horns in support as they drove by. Note to self: next time I go to one of these a) wear better shoes (since we decided to march too) b) wear one of my stash of pro-choice t-shirts that I carefully saved around here somewhere for these situations c) bring a list of more creative chants since we quickly ran out of interesting ones and it really is a lot more effective when everyone is yelling and d) do not march with a copy of the AACR2 (which is far too heavy to lug all the way around downtown, but I went to the rally right after meeting with my cataloging group to prep for this weekend's take home exam) Most of the local news stations were there covering it, so you may see us later tonight. I had a quick chat with one of the gals from PP about what the next steps are, and they sound like they're organized and ready to fight which was a little reassuring given how bleak everything looks from here.
