Local groups are planning two rallies in the next couple weeks to showcase their disapproval of the recent Supreme Court decision that abolished the federal protection of a woman's right to abortion. This action opens up the possibility for states to limit a woman's individual right to choose.
On Wednesday democrat candidate for the Pennsylvania 6th district Nerissa Galt has coordinated a "We Will Not Go Back" sign rally around Diamond Park beginning at 5 p.m. "Bring your signs and rally together for our reproductive freedoms. With the recent [Supreme Court] decision to allow states to decide, [Pennsylivania] is at a turning point," the social media event page post said.
Organizers are planning a second sign rally in Franklin on August 13 beginning at noon. Their first rally a few weeks ago drew over 150 people. They are organizing a sign making party from 5 to 9 p.m. on August 10 at the Underground Bookstore on 13th Street in Franklin. "Anyone who wants to come in support of their own first amendment rights should come," said Nicole Burton, one of the event organizers. "Women should be able to have the autonomy and privacy to make their own decisions."
This same group is planning a larger march and rally on September 17 beginning at noon at Franklin City Hall marching through town to Bandstand Park where they present several speakers. "We need to understand the power of our vote," Burton said. Many details are still being worked out for that event.
