WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
#Green4Abortion Bandana Day
Have students at your school ansewer a basic questionaire or take a poll on your social media. If they are for the legal right to abortion the need to SHOW IT! Other ways to do this could be a lunchroom announcement, stang up on the cafeteria table and have people who support abortion rights come to you and get a green bandana, ribbon, sticker, or other way to showcase what side they are on!
Tip
Start planning how to showcase your green now. Order bandanas or stickers from our website, or go get green ribbon to make pins. DM us on social media with questions. Ask students to donate $1 or $2 to cover the costs!

Unified Mass Protests
We Refuse To Let the Supreme Court Take Away the Right to Abortion!
Abortion On Demand and Without Apology!
The end of Roe v. Wade would be one of the most significant reversals of a fundamental human and civil right in this country’s history.
If you care about women and girls… if you refuse to inherit, or pass on, a world that is hurtling backwards. Get organized and connect with us. Spread the word to friends, family, and other networks. NOW is the time to rise up, together, as if our lives depend upon it—for, in fact, they do.
