The Women’s March Foundation in Los Angeles has announced a nationwide walk-out on June 24, the anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, to protest against the patriarchy and demand a society that respects and upholds women’s reproductive rights.

June 24, 2022, marks the day the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a pivotal decision that led to restrictive abortion bans across the country, endangering the lives and freedoms of women. The date now serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for reproductive justice and the urgent need for action. At noon, participants are encouraged to walk out of their workplaces, schools or homes to speak out about the critical importance of reproductive rights.

Women’s March Foundation is encouraging participants to wear green, a color that symbolizes the fight for reproductive freedom and solidarity among advocates.

A coinciding event will be held at noon on June 24 at the Los Angeles City Hall steps, located at 200 N. Spring St. For information, visit womensmarchfoundation .org.
