Walk in My Shoes - Hear our Voice
Women's Walk at the Capitol Monday March 12, 2012 11:30-1pm & Hearing @1pm in 514 Coverdell Legislative Office Bldg
Many politicians now openly support a denial of basic health care for women or the reversal of essential women’s rights. With the 2012 elections looming this year, the culture war seems to deliver every day a new insult to women’s dignity. This is a non-partisan issue as it affects all women.
Stand with us as we stand for women’s health and lives — for freedom, equality, justice, and human dignity for all.
Join us for a peaceful, but not silent, non-permitted, single file walk around the Gold Dome.
Where: Washington Street Side of the Georgia State Capitol
When: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, March 12, 2012
What: Walk in My Shoes, Hear Our Voice is a peaceful, non-permitted single file walk by hundreds of concerned Georgians on the sidewalk around the Gold Dome with “body-sized” signs to ensure clear ingress and egress.
Please join us and add your organization to the list of women's organizations. After the march there will be a hearing to address the attack on women's rights @ 1pm in 514 Coverdell Legislative Office Building sponsored by Representatives Dee Dawkins-Haigler, Sandra Scott, Pam Stephenson and other female legislators.
Rep. Dawkins-Haigler introduced HB1234 on Wednesday morning that would prevent state health insurance companies from covering erectile dysfunction (no Viagra - no cialis). While at the same time the senate passed out SB 460 which denies basic reproductive health care for women. It is time that women speak up and out about the double standards. If men can have Viagra covered under insurance then women should be able to have birth control covered as well.
Please forward to all of your contacts. This is a time for all women to unite regardless of political party affiliation, age, race, ethnicity, religion, creed or class.
Hope to see you there.
