Northridge, CA July 11, 2018 – The Resistance – Northridge, Indivisible, Indivisibles of Sherman Oaks, Women’s Alliance LA and NARAL Pro-Choice California are co-sponsoring rallies this week at Senate

District Offices to demand our Senators protect our democracy— our choice, our affordable health care, our rights and to save the Supreme Court of the United States.

While our Democratic Senators in California have been vocal and supportive to oppose nominations that impinge on our fundamental civil rights, public pressure is still crucial. We will be there in force to let our senators know that we appreciate them and to call to attention how a conservative majority in the Supreme Court will endanger basic rights that we enjoy in our democratic society. It is imperative that we do everything in our power to stop an extreme nomination which will directly impact civil rights for generations to come.

As always, this will be a peaceful rally and violence of any kind will not be tolerated. Our goal for this rally will be to put public pressure to stop Trump's extreme SCOTUS nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. We must publicly call for protection of our fundamental freedoms and rights. The rallies are part of national protests going on all week sponsored by Indivisible, MoveOn.org, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice America, National Institute of Reproductive Health Action Fund, National Center for Transgender Equality, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, SEIU, American Federation of Teachers, and many more.
