Back to All Events

March for Reproductive Freedom

It's time again to take action! We are going back to our roots for this event on Tuesday, July 2nd.

As you know, our group was founded on the belief that it is every persons right to have bodily autonomy and to have access to safe contraception and abortion care; the choice to become a parent or not is each person's own and is a highly personal one that no external force should have power over.

When SCOTUS revoked our right to choice on a federal level in 2022, we organized and marched in Sister Bay with over 30+ local business supporters and several hundred protesters. Now, thanks to a court ruling in Dane County last year, we no longer have to reside under the 1849 abortion ban we were reverted to. However - we are not protected from further restrictions in the future - with many states constantly attacking the right choose, we have more work to do.

With this march, we are hoping to draw awareness to the fact that we still have a federal abortion ban and many legislators in Wisconsin (and who represent Door County) want to further limit abortion access and care - and contraception and infertility treatments are at risk. Our ability to make our own healthcare decisions should be a protected right, not dictated by our state or federal government.

We are happy to announce that two candidates for the fall election will also be joining us as special guest speakers - Dr. Kristin Lyerly OB/GYN and Renee Palpham. They are running for assembly and congressional positions and will represent Door County if elected.
