The House version of the Reproductive Health Care Act (House Bill 5127) will be heard THIS Tuesday, January 29thalong with the weaker version of the bill (House Bill 5125) and a couple of bills using trumped up rhetoric to attack access to care.
It is critical that we be there IN FORCE to show our support for the RHCA – no substitutes and make it clear that we want to see the bill passed THIS YEAR!
We need you there in your red or pink. Meet us at 3:00pm and be ready to make your voice heard. Be with us at this critical moment. Together, we will draw the line and make it clear that people are fighting back – and that Rhode Islanders are not content to watch our rights be trampled on or taken away at the federal level or ignored in our own state.
