There's going to be a march supporting women's issues on April 25th in Washington DC.. Now, don't flame me - I don't like the political undertones of this group but support their issues... I will not be attending but maybe some of you guys may be interested..

Dear Friend,
The months ahead will be a pivotal time for our nation as we speak out for democracy and against intolerance and discrimination. On April 25, over 1,000 women's rights, civil rights, and health care organizations are leading an historic "March for Women's Lives" in Washington, DC.

Women -- not the government -- should have the right to make the most deeply personal decisions about their health and their lives. Government's role should be to ensure -- not deny -- women's access to the full range of reproductive health services. Yet all these rights are under unrelenting attack.

Visit http://www.marchforwomen.org to get more information, sign up for the March, register your delegation, send a donation, alert your friends, or connect with your local March coalition to help fill buses, trains and planes with determined activists and united voices.

Help us Make History! Join the hundreds of thousands who will march to protect our right to birth control, emergency contraception, abortion, and all reproductive health services as well as our right to have children and plan our own families according to our own personal, religious and moral beliefs not those of a tyrannical minority. We will never go back to the days before Roe v. Wade when women died from illegal abortions or were forcibly sterilized. The March is not just for girls and women who have the option of choice, but also for those who live with the fears and devastation of poverty, war, intolerance and sexual violence that threatens their very being and for the men who care about us.
