Black and white photos from the Bigger than Roe event in Madison, WI
Library Mall to the Wisconsin State Capital
Madison, WI
Approximately a thousand people marched from Library Mall on the University of Wisconsin Madison Campus up State Street to the Wisconsin State Capital building for women's rights.
The march was lead by the Madison Abortion and Reproductive Rights Coalition for Health (MARRCH) in conjunction with Women's March.
From the event description:
MARRCH and the Women's March are co-hosting this year’s national march on Madison to fight for bodily autonomy for all! In honor of the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we’ll be taking over our state capital to demand the immediate reinstatement of reproductive justice in Wisconsin and throughout our nation. We demand that the Wisconsin state and federal legislature:
- Overturn 1849 anti-abortion legislation
- Divert tax surplus of $6 billion to finance care for pregnant people seeking abortion care in neighboring states (travel, childcare, lodging, food, transportation, etc)
- Teach medically sound sex education for all, including non-binary and transgender youth
- Repeal the Hyde Amendment
- Reopen Wisconsin clinics now
