[Milwaukee, WI] – At 4pm on Thursday September 15th, Milwaukee Reproductive Justice Action – Milwaukee (RJA-M) and Students for a Democratic Society at UW-Milwaukee (SDS) will join SDS’s national call to action for access to reproductive healthcare. We demand that the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisor pass a resolution making Milwaukee an Abortion Sanctuary. Tabling and sign-making will begin at 4:00pm and the march will start at 5:00pm from 2200 E Kenwood Blvd Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
RJA-M has a petition demanding that the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors make Milwaukee a safe haven for abortion access effective immediately. As citizens of Milwaukee County, we demand that all county supervisors draft a resolution to communicate that the residents of Milwaukee County do want safe abortion access legalized. We also demand that law enforcement within Milwaukee County shall refuse to apprehend any provider for performing abortion care, and that the District Attorney’s office will dismiss all charges against any provider who performs abortion services. This is an urgent matter putting lives at risk. People will die due to a lack of abortion services in Wisconsin. When people’s lives are at stake, we cannot allow our elected officials to put off action.
RJA-M is a brand new grassroots organization in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We are fighting for Reproductive Justice for all humans, and standing in opposition of the system(s) that deny human rights to any person. Formed under the umbrella of Milwaukee Alliance against Racist and Political Repression (MAARPR), RJA-M is committed to insisting that the county of Milwaukee gives its firm support to all those seeking equitable reproductive care.
