Thousands To Rally In Texas With Senator Wendy Davis On July 1
http://samuel-warde.com/2013/06/thousands-to-rally-in-texas-with-senator-wendy-davis-on-july-1/



Monday should be a pretty exciting day to watch American democracy at work. Much of the country’s media will be focused on the State Capitol in Austin, Texas where thousands are expected to show up and rally for women’s reproductive rights.

..... Another exciting aspect of this event is the solidarity it seems to be creating between women rights groups around the country:

“While women’s reproductive rights are being challenged in many states across the country and now in the U.S. House, what has taken place in Texas has brought tens of thousands of women and organizations together in this fight. UniteWomen.org- Texas is working with so many new and long established groups standing together to make our voices heard. Other states are watching and are not only standing with Texas, but re-energized to engage in their own states as well.” – Patricia M. Gil, Executive V.P. of Operations and Texas resident.
