ABOUT US

OUR MANIFESTO

WE believe that all human beings are equal and should have equal rights. No one should be denied an abortion, which the World Health Organization has declared an essential health service.

WE will educate ourselves and others. We are committed to making sure that our voices are heard. We will vote in all elections, local and national. And we will make sure we truly understand the values and beliefs of those we are voting for.

WE will work with grace and fortitude. We believe in choice, women’s ability to safely access abortion. What each woman believes is right for themselves is not our concern. This is simply about giving women the right to choose when it comes to their healthcare and their bodies.

WE will not rest until women are once again in charge of their own bodies. Together, we are creating a force for change that no one ever saw coming.
