Monday, June 24, marks the two-year anniversary of Dobbs v. Jackson. To date, 14 U.S. states have total bans on abortion, while 27 states have bans based on gestational duration.
To mark the moment, groups of reproductive rights advocates and allies are gathering in person across the country to demand abortion and other reproductive health access. Anchoring actions will take place in Albany, N.Y., Orlando, Fla., Phoenix, Ariz., and Washington, D.C. Some events will take place this weekend, while others are happening on Monday.

Women’s March is also challenging women to strike for their rights on Monday, refraining from work or spending money. “On the second anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, girls, women and allies go on strike. Participants do not go to work, do not go to school, and/or do not spend even one penny. As our privacy, body autonomy, healthcare and travel rights are being removed, we remove ourselves for one day en masse. We stand together for all Americans to show that the nation needs us.” Sign up to strike here.

U.S. democracy is at a dangerous inflection point—from the demise of abortion rights, to a lack of pay equity and parental leave, to skyrocketing maternal mortality, and attacks on trans health. Left unchecked, these crises will lead to wider gaps in political participation and representation. For 50 years, Ms. has been forging feminist journalism—reporting, rebelling and truth-telling from the front-lines, championing the Equal Rights Amendment, and centering the stories of those most impacted.
