Local Leaders Rally for Women’s Health Care, Reproductive Rights on Second Anniversary of Landmark U.S. Supreme Court Decision
Redwood City – Community leaders gathered this morning in Courthouse Square to support women’s health care on the two-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that overturned the right to an abortion.
“Today, all across America, there are protests. There are strikes. There are marches all recognizing the loss of freedom and rights for women,” Warren Slocum, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, said at a rally and news conference.
The event was organized and hosted by Assemblymember Diane Papan, D-21, with about 40 local leaders gathering on the courthouse steps. Many held signs, “My Body My Choice” and “We Won’t Go Back,” in English and Spanish.
