***PROTEST FOR WOMEN'S LIBERTY***

TUESDAY, AUGUST 23 @ 5:30PM FEDERAL PLAZA, ADAMS AND DEARBORN

ABORTION RIGHTS * CIVIL RIGHTS * WORKERS RIGHTS * EQUAL RIGHTS

With the nomination of Judge Roberts to the Supreme Court, the Bush administration has escalated its attack on our rights.

OUR RIGHTS AREN'T SAFE WITH JOHN ROBERTS! Celebrate the 85th anniversary of women's suffrage in the U.S. by turning out for a demonstration to oppose his nomination. Bring signs, chants and your voices and help send a message that WE WON'T GIVE UP OUR RIGHTS WITHOUT A FIGHT!

Roberts' record includes:

Arguing that a woman's right to choose abortion should be overturned.

Supporting the right of anti-choice bigots to physically block clinics.

Writing a "gag rule" barring federally funded clinics from even mention the word "abortion" to patients.

Opposing Title IX, the equal eduaction law for women and girls.

Opposing Affirmative Action and busing programs.

Helping to craft the Republican legal strategy in Florida in 2000 that led to the disenfranchisement of thousands of Black voters and put George W. Bush in the White House.

Helping to weaken protections for workers disabled on the job.

Upholding the handcuffing, arrest and booking of a 12 year-old girl for eating a single French fry on the Washington, D.C. Metro.

Joining in a decision that "enemy combatants" at the U.S. prison camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba can be tried by "military commissions" set up by the Bush Administration—denying them the right to due process and a fair trial.
