Taking Patriarchy by Storm - Mississippi 2015

Sharing  a few photos from Taking Patriarchy by Storm in Mississippi.  Activists from around the country came to Jackson July 31-August 10 to fight for abortion on demand & without apology, stand in support of the last abortion clinic in Mississippi, protest against all forms of the enslavement and degradation of women and FOR all-the-way women's liberation.  As one volunteer put it: "Here's to raising a ruckus in the Deep South and everywhere, amplifying those voices that have been stifled too long, igniting hope, truth, and fire into minds and hearts, changing minds, and giving people everywhere a way to act out to stop the war on women."

Rachel Maddow reports on vandalism done to the only abortion clinic left in Mississippi, as new, "more militant" protesters have arrived to harass the clinic and its clients, and as legal tricks to undermine abortion rights are failing in several courts.
