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 a listing of local actions, volunteer opportunities,
and the occasional rant
on a wide range of
socially just issues.
