by Julia Reticker-Flynn, Manager, Youth Activist Network From January 20 to 27, Advocates for Youth is joining the first-ever Trust Women Week, an online mass mobilization for women's lives and rights. This unique collaborative campaign is working with MoveOn.org and more than 50 organizations across the nation, including coordinating partner, the Trust Women/Silver Ribbon Campaign, to let legislators know that reproductive health, reproductive justice, and reproductive rights are at the top of our agenda and should be at the top of theirs, too. In this collaborative national action, messages from "virtual marchers," as the online participants are known, will be packaged and delivered directly to members of Congress, governors, and state legislators to underscore that Americans trust women to make their own decisions about their bodies and their lives.Your Voice Counts! CLICK HERE to join the TRUST WOMEN WEEK Virtual March for Women's Lives and Rights.
Trust Women Week overlaps with the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and reasserts our firm commitment to reclaiming the future of reproductive decision-making in 2012. For the next seven days, we will be honoring women's experiences and voices by featuring a different story from the 1 in 3 Campaign. As you may know, the 1 in 3 Campaign is a grassroots movement to start a new conversation about abortion — telling our stories, on our own terms. Together, we can end the stigma women face each and every day and assure access to the full range of basic health care, including abortion. Please join us in this collaborative week of action by sharing stories from the 1 in 3 Campaign on Facebook and Twitter — and by joining people from across the country for the Trust Women Week online march. One million participants are expected to join in this virtual freedom march, and a real-time online map will show the location of the virtual marchers. Join the march TODAY!
