Occupy Atlanta Media
March 11, 2012
A nation-wide epidemic of misogynist legislation has spread to Georgia. Occupy Atlanta will walk in solidarity with a coalition including:
ACLU of Georgia, Atlanta Women’s Medical Center, Democratic Women’s Council, Feminist Women’s Health Center, Georgia Equality, Georgia Rural Urban Summit, Georgia’s WIN List, Georgia Women for a Change, Georgia WAND, League of Women Voters of Georgia, Men Stopping Violence, MoveOn, National Association of Social Workers – Georgia Chapter, Planned Parenthood Southeast, Raksha, Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, SPARK Reproductive Justice NOW, Women’s Resource Center to End Domestic Violence, Young Democrats of Georgia
We will walk in a single file around the Capitol from 11:30 am to 1 pm in support of these rights for all Georgia women:
to determine when and whether to have children,
to have a healthy pregnancy and birth;
to become a parent and parent with dignity, and
to have safe and healthy relationships and families.
Self-determination for women is inextricably tied to self-determination for our entire society. We are “the 52%”
