Roe v. Wade has been dead for three-and-a-half years, and abortion rights have gotten bleaker by the day in Florida.

Activists with Pinellas NOW (National Organization for Women) commemorate the ruling’s anniversary and protest Florida’s six-week abortion ban and other laws attacking reproductive freedom throughout downtown St. Pete.

There is no cover, but online registration is recommended for the Roe v. Wade Commemoration/Reproductive Freedom Visibility Event happening Thursday, Jan. 22 in St. Petersburg.
