Bigger Than Dobbs II: Stop Trump’s and the GOP’s War on Women
March Forward/Indivisible Quincy is organizing a “Bigger Than Dobbs” rally to Stop the War on Women, Sunday 6/29 from 2-4 pm in the Hancock Adams Common outside Quincy City Hall. Speakers will include local activists, organizations, and elected officials. Some signs will be provided, but feel free to bring your own!
Our event is part of a weekend of action supported by Indivisible and the Women’s March to mark the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, sadly overturning the decades of case law for Roe vs Wade. In the barrage of attacks on our democracy, it is marginalized groups and women who are the targets. Despite our warnings and protests, the current Republican party, with Donald Trump at the helm, have accelerated their plan to implement Project 2025.
Their plan to restore a white, Christian patriarchy was clearly stated in Project 2025. We warned that Republicans were “turning back the clock” and that “abortion was just the tip of the iceberg.” Each section detailed how the freedoms of women would be curtailed. As we pointed out, abortion bans are just the beginning. Their aim is to put women back into traditional “Biblically-based marriages,” without careers or reproductive rights or even the right to vote, and to punish those who won’t abide by their rules.
In the time since SCOTUS ruled to overturn Roe, we have seen a degradation of democracy across the board while attacks on women have been quietly happening. There aren’t armed, masked men abducting women who won’t comply (yet) but it’s clear – from the cancellation of medical research pertaining to women, to the firings of top female military officials, to voter suppression law specifically targeting married women, the GOP War on Women must be stopped. This is our message: Stop Trump’s War on Women!
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
