Shavuah Tov & Activism

Shavuah tov, a good new week to each and all of you.

This week an important march will occur in Washington, DC. the March for Women's Lives, a march in
"support of reproductive freedom and justice for all women. Threats to these rights have never been so systematic and coordinated, and the lives and health of women have never faced such peril. On April 25th, in our Nation’s Capitol we march to uphold – Choice, Justice, Access, Health, Abortion, Global and Family Planning. Please join us for the March for Women's Lives." (From March for Women's Lives website.)

If you can't go to the march, then learn about the issues and voice your opinion locally.
