July 26th Meeting!!
For the next meeting of the
Rocky River Democratic Club
Tuesday, July 26th at 7:00 PM
Alternatives to Despair in Post-Roe Ohio
Via Zoom and In-Person at the Rocky River Library
This meeting is intended to educate and inform the group about life, activism, and options in post-Roe Ohio. Our speakers are well-versed in how to understand and combat the radical voices in the Federal government and Ohio Statehouse that are actively working to strip the rights and freedoms away from women, especially, and all Americans alike. Their insight will serve to help us analyze how exactly these draconian measures will manifest in our daily lives, how they restrict the basic freedoms we have come to rely on, and what we can do to fight back.
