Have a Safe and Happy Pride. From the YWCA Lethbridge and District Family!

YWCA Canada stands in solidarity with @YWCAUSA, the people of the United States, and pro-choice advocates everywhere amid the overturning of Roe v. Wade and its devastating erosion of abortion rights. Read our full statement: bit.ly/3xUZTM6 #prochoice #RoeVsWade

[2/3] This generation will be the nation's first in almost 50 years to come of age without a constitutionally protected right to abortion, turning back the clock to a time of limited rights & opportunities that no young person in America today has known.

Outraged by this decision? Turn your anger & sadness into lasting & real action. Contact your MP & MLA about abortion rights & health care funding in 🇨🇦 & #AB. Support gender equity seeking orgs, including @YWCAEdmonton & @YWCA_Canada. Pay attention and stay vigilant. #RoeVsWade

Safe abortion access is an issue of equity. As pro-choice organizations, the YWCAs of Alberta stand united in our deep concern and disappointment around the US Supreme Court decision to overturn the Roe vs. Wade legislation.
