Women’s March – March 19, 2024

Posted on March 19, 2024

There’s no denying it— the Supreme Court is compromised and illegitimate. On March 26, we are protesting SCOTUS in defense of medication abortion. No matter the outcome, we want to be clear. Feminists will not abide unjust laws, and we will make sure that anyone who needs Mifepristone will be able to get it, no matter the decision from SCOTUS.

He did this because he is, in fact, an anti-abortion advocate. That’s why he has his job. That’s why the judges on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals have theirs. It’s why much of the Supreme Court has theirs.

Lindsay is a registered nurse in a state with a total abortion ban. Courtney is a reproductive rights activist from Amarillo, TX. Together, we co-founded Amarillo Reproductive Freedom Alliance. We know the devastating impact these legal decisions will have on our communities. This is not what the people want. Our courts are not working in service of democracy, they are working to advance an agenda that cannot win at the ballot box. We won’t let them win. 

We were both there on day one of the protest against this sham lawsuit, and a week from today, we’ll be representing Amarillo in Washington D.C., as oral arguments move forward. And, like all of you, we’ll be in the streets until true reproductive freedom is accessible for everyone. Are you with us? 

Would you consider giving $5 (or whatever you can) to help activists like us get to Washington, DC?

In struggle and community,

Lindsay London & Courtney Brown,

Co-Founders, Amarillo Reproductive Freedom Alliance

It was a late Sunday afternoon like any other on San Francisco’s Alcatraz Island. The day was winding down, and Aidan Moore, a guest relations employee for Alcatraz City Cruises, was at the dock of the tourist attraction helping visitors disembark. Suddenly, one of the tourists approached him, wide-eyed: They had just seen a coyote swimming to shore, something that has never been recorded before. FULL STORY BELOW:

    Let’s join together for our first gathering of 2026. This month we'll meet at the Round Table Pizza on Court Street in Pasco. January 9 at 6pm. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. As is our normal practice, Tri-City Democrats will order several pizzas to share. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group. Some of our generous members are likely to purchase pitchers of beer to share. If you want the salad bar or soft drinks, you are on your own for those items.

    At this writing, we do not have a planned program, but we will have 'Hate Has no Home Here' signs available. We are coming up on election time for the group - at our January meeting we'll plan to hold elections for our officers for 2026. Please let us know if you are interested in serving on the board!
