Unite Against the War on Women March and Rally

On Saturday, April 28, 2012, in cities and Capitols across America, a new and growing movement will march and rally to Unite Against the War on Women. Los Angeles will host its own event with a March starting at 10:00 a.m. at Pershing Square in Downtown Los Angeles (located at 6th and Olive Streets) and culminating with a Rally with
speakers and entertainment at Fletcher Bowron Square (Main and Temple) starting at 12 noon.

Unite Women is a non-partisan organization of women and men who have joined together to push back, stand up, and declare: “Enough is Enough.” The April 28th actions have been endorsed nationally by the National Organization for Women (NOW), National League of Latin American Citizens (NLLAC, and its California Affiliate, CALLAC), Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW), Ihollaback, and Coffee Party USA. The Los Angeles event is supported locally by Planned Parenthood and the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center.

People who would like to volunteer to assit with organizing the Los Angeles event and its logistics, or organizations (and individuals) who want to endorse the rally may contact the Rally Co-Chairs, Nanette Harrison at (323) 376-9871
