JUDY GUMBO’S 7 POINT PROGRAM TO BRING ROE BACK

(Modeled on the 10 pt. Platform and Program of the Black Panther Party)

WHAT WE BELIEVE

  1. If you don’t like abortion don’t get one.
  2. Your freedom of religion stops at my body.
  3. The backlash against Roe is directed not just at those who can become pregnant. It is far-reaching, racist, homophobic & patriarchal.
  4. The right to an abortion is not just about choice but fundamentally about the survival of women who have no choice, who are faced with dire necessity.
  5. Get angry, act, and take it to the streets!

 

WHAT WE WANT

  1. Find out when, where, and how you are needed; travel to support threatened clinics that provide abortions.
  2. Join or organize a mass mobilization – based on the anger you feel and what you are comfortable doing. Inform your local Planned Parenthood and/or independent clinic that you are organizing a peaceful protest on their behalf. Encourage your friends in other states to do the same.
  3. Organize a personal protest – sit in! blockade! picket every federal courthouse in your area. Don’t be intimidated or discouraged.
  4. Give as much $ as you can afford – and beyond – to your local Planned Parenthood. Or adopt an independent abortion clinic in your area. Designate your gift for abortion care, to keep clinics functioning, for bail & transport & medical supplies, temporary housing and staff. Each one reach one.
  5. Support & build an Underground Railroad. To help women get abortions or get out from anti-abortion states to sanctuary. To find out how, in detail, watch this movie: The Janes on HBO or Hulu.
  6. If you’re a member of the medical profession, form or support Medical Networks for the purpose of providing abortion care. Connect with out-of-state doctors; pay for or offer medical supplies.
  7. RU 486 – obtain prescriptions, buy and distribute RU 486.
