Rally for Women's Health
After more than two years of foot-dragging, the Food and Drug Administration has failed women once again. In a report issued last week, the FDA demanded more time before announcing a decision to broadening access to the "morning after" pill.
Activists for the National Organization for Women and others who support the health and safety of women and girls will hold a rally outside the Department of Health and Human Service to insist that the FDA allow the sale of emergency contraception without a prescription. Please come during your lunch break on Tuesday, Aug. 30, at noon, to HHS (20 Independence Ave. SW), and bring signs demanding access to emergency contraception.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
