National Day of #Solidarity is a time to gather together in the aftermath of the recent violence at Planned Parenthood’s Colorado Springs clinic, in San Bernardino, and across the country. While the main solidarity events are in Colorado and in Washington, D.C., vigils are also being held nationwide and online: http://istandwithpp.org/solidarity. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1551056075186001/
One of the lessons of the tragedy in Colorado is that words matter, and hateful rhetoric fuels violence. We are calling for an end to the inflammatory rhetoric that has vilified and fueled attacks against not only Planned Parenthood and abortion providers, but also the black community, immigrants, refugees, and the transgender community.
On National Day of Solidarity, we stand united against violence. We stand together against attacks in our communities. And we #StandWithPP. Join and invite your friends to show your support for access to safe reproductive health care — including abortion.
