New York
Abortion-rights rally held in Seneca Falls

Seneca Falls, New York – Following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, on Friday members of the Geneva Women’s Assembly and the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Finger Lakes Branch announced an emergency rally in Seneca Falls.
According to organizers of the rally, they want people to go out and demonstrate that a majority of Americans support abortion rights and oppose the Supreme Court’s decision.
Rally organizer Hannah Dickinson said that people should stand in solidarity with every woman across the U.S. although abortion will still be legal in New York. “We must stand up for all of the people who will be criminalized just for being pregnant,” Dickinson said. “Stand against the rash of vigilante, misogynistic violence this ruling will rain down on the most oppressed among us.”
According to Maureen North, an organizer with NARAL and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, she hopes people from across the region will come out to support abortion rights.
“This is not a moment to despair,” North said in a statement. “We can use our rage and our solidarity to build the movement we need, and to unite across all movements to fight for a better world!”
At 5 p.m. at the Women’s Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, the rally is set to being.
