Defend Abortion: March for More Clinics!

July 2 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

200 SE Oak St in Minneapolis

8 clinics is not enough! With Minnesota’s new status as the Midwest’s sanctuary state for abortion, we need more clinics to meet the needs of the people in our state and surrounding!

In 1975, the University of Minnesota closed its only abortion clinic due to pressure from the state legislature and has not offered these services to the people of Minnesota since. Students for a Democratic Society calls on University administrators to stand with us in the fight for legal abortion and OPEN MORE CLINICS NOW! An abortion clinic at every University of Minnesota campus across the state would greatly increase the capacity of our state to meet the growing needs for these procedures and strengthen our status as a sanctuary state! On campus abortion access would also make reproductive care more accessible to students and staff! March with us to demand more clinics NOW!
This is a student-led action, but we welcome the Twin Cities community to join us in the streets! We need more clinics, more funding for existing clinics, direct state funding to abortion funds, an end to state funding of anti-abortion “crisis centers”, and we need the Democrats to codify Roe now!
