Valdez, AK
Directions
Participants will meet at Valdez City Hall and march past the grocery store, down the sidewalk on East Pioneer Drive to Egan Ave., then we will walk and congregate on the corner of Egan & Meals Ave. for a bit. We will finish the march by walking to Hazelet Ave., then to Pioneer and back to City Hall.
Mark your calendars for Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates - Alaska’s statewide DAY OF ACTION on Saturday October 2nd. Marches will be held on this day across the nation, because our right to access safe, legal abortion is in the most serious danger it has been in 48 years. Almost five decades ago, the Supreme Court said that your constitutional right to privacy extended to your right to access an abortion. This year, the Supreme Court reconvenes on October 4th and will be hearing a case on a 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi. With the addition of three new conservative justices it is possible the court will overturn all or parts of Roe v Wade and eliminate access to safe and legal abortion for millions across the country.
The devastating abortion ban we saw enacted in Texas last week is just one of over 90 egregious and harmful anti-abortion bills enacted across the country this year alone, with over 400 more bills in state legislatures right now-- including one in Alaska to amend our State Constitution.
Abortion rights across the United States-- including here in Alaska-- are under attack. But we’re not giving up!
We will be holding events in communities across the state! We look forward to finding ways to safely support each other, get loud, find joy and catharsis, and tell our legislators across Alaska to keep their #BansOffOurBodies! Guests, please remember that trans men, non-binary people and more LGBTQ+ can get pregnant and can have an abortion, meaning that this is an LGBTQ+ issue just as much as a women's issue.
Peaceful expression of art, music, signage etc. welcome. Musicians welcome to bring instruments, drums, etc. No transphobia allowed. Please wear a mask and social distance.
