An event has been created on Facebook inviting Texas residents to protest the passage of extreme abortion legislation.
From the event:
Texas Capitol, Legislative Conference Center, Extension E2.002
We need as many people as possible to come to the Capitol on Sunday, June 23rd, starting at 1pm*, to protest the passage of bills that would strip Texans of their reproductive rights.
From Thursday afternoon into the wee hours Friday morning, hundreds of pro-choice Texans from around the state descended upon the Texas Capitol to testify against HB 60 and HB 16 in the House State Affairs Committee. Testimony lasted nearly 10 hours, but when the chair cut us off at 3:40 a.m., hundreds of people still had not had their chance to speak.
We deserve to be heard. These bills would close all but 5 abortion clinics in the state of Texas and ban all abortions after 20 weeks, with no exception for sexual assault. These bills will have a devastating effect on reproductive access in Texas and the majority of Texans do not support this level of restriction.
Join us on Sunday, June 23. We saw an historic and unprecedented gathering on Thursday and Friday, and let’s bring out a large crowd again.
What is happening is history in the making. See you Sunday!
