Pro-Choice Caucus Co-Chair Barbara Lee (CA-13); Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) and Wendy and David Gunn, Jr.

Why this project?

This year, on Jan 22, 2023, we should be celebrating 50 years of protection for basic reproductive rights under Roe v. Wade. Instead, the Supreme Court overturned Roe in June.

Now, more than ever, we must acknowledge how we got to this place in American history, and how we can move forward. We must recognize the inequities in abortion care that existed even before Roe was overturned, and find novel ways to work for abortion access for all.

Why now?

We begin our daily posts on January 22, 2033, the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The project will culminate on March 10, when we will join allies across the US to celebrate , a national day of recognition and gratitude for those who provide abortion care to those who need it, wherever and whenever it is needed.
