The website claims that  “this is Trump’s anti-choice movement… and it’s terrifying, particularly for women of color and low-income women who are most affected by these bans.”
The protests have been promoted by many influential Democrats, including 2020 Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren.
If you’re angry about right-wing Republicans’ plan to reverse Roe, now’s the time to get organized and fight back. https://t.co/aYwXjPa0iq
