SEEING RED at the Texas State Capitol

To all my Austin-based peeps who are interested:

Tuesday, March 6, 2012 and the two following Tuesdays, there will be a gathering at the Texas State Capitol from noon until 2 pm to protest the recent assaults on women's healthcare and reproductive rights.

This is an informally organized event with no speakers or PA -- just wear a red shirt and bring a sign if you wish.

From organizer Marcia Ball's email:

What the heck’s happening with our poor country?! Who knew that in 2012 in the USA we would be fighting about contraception and basic women's health?

Next Tuesday, March 6, and the following two Tuesdays, between noon and 2:00 PM, I am going to put on a red shirt and stand in front of the Texas State Capitol at the corner of Congress Avenue and 11th Street holding a sign decrying the defunding of women’s health services. I am calling my effort SEEING RED and it may be just me and a few friends or a few hundred.

...

By the way, this is not a “women’s movement”. Come one, come all.

Please join us if you can!
