Bans Off Our Bodies Reproductive Rights Rally & March

Picture
Saturday, May 14,  11am - 1pm, Missoula County Courthouse
Featured Speaker: Nancy Keenan, Former National President of NARAL Pro-Choice America
:On May 2nd, we learned from a leaked draft opinion that SCOTUS is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, stripping the constitutional right to abortion in spite of fifty years of precedent.

The Supreme Court is making their official decision on abortion rights in June. Once that happens, 26 states could move quickly to ban abortion, meaning millions of people could live without local access to abortion care.

Roe has always been the floor, not the ceiling. Many Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other people of color experience barriers to accessing abortions. The people in your community and across the country deserve the power and freedom to make their own personal reproductive health care decisions.

We have to act NOW, all across the country. Together we will send a strong message that we're not backing down. Supporting abortion access must be protected and defended.

DSA Eco Socialist Working Group

Please email ecosocialist@westernmtdsa.org to receive the zoom link for this meeting.


DSA Education/Discussion Group

Wednesday May 18, 6pm
Note that we have moved the regular date of the Education/Discussion group to the third Wednesday of the month.

We will be watching and discussing the movie Matewan (1987, 133 min.) a fictionalized account of the strikes in the coal fields in Matewan, and other towns in West Virginia in 1920. It's directed by John Sayles. It stars Chris Cooper (who plays an IWW organizer), James Earl Jones (a coal miner), and David Strathairn (the local sheriff). It's engrossing, educational, and a treatise on political oppression and how race and xenophobia are used to divide workers against each other.

Please contact Robbie for location details if you're not already a regular member of the discussion group: oped@westernmtdsa.org. If you are unable to attend in person, we may be able to share the movie and discussion via Zoom. Please let me know if you want to attend virtually.
