We have a simple message: Our Bodies. Our Abortions. #BansOffOurBodies

[Sheila Katz @SheilaKatz1]

Proud to be speaking at todays #BansOffOurBodies rally in DC to say loudly that Jews support abortion justice because of our religion and not in spite of it. ❤️

“The only way we can truly have religious freedom is if every person can make their own decisions for their own bodies from their own traditions.”@SheilaKatz1 #BansOffOurBodies

[Dr. Sabrina E. Dent @PROVERBSKIDS]

🗣️Abortion is health care. #ReproductiveJustice is a religious freedom issue. Both intersect w/ voting rights. Remember that come midterm elections! We're attending the #BansOffOurBodies Rally because we're committed to advancing justice & protecting a woman's right to choose.✊🏾

Jesus trusts women so should you! Just another Christian for Reproductive Rights.

Seeing the difference of types of protestors in the city is startling.

Two vastly different scenes down Pennsylvania Ave. taken from the same vantage point almost exactly two months apart: the MAGA march happening now, and the Women’s March in mid-October building momentum to vote out Trump.

DCMPD @DMVBlackLives have blocked access to BLM plaza. Is there another place to support from outside the area?

[Miroslav Volf @MiroslavVolf]

Why am I against capital punishment? Since Christ died for the sin of all, the scandalous and the most beautiful fact is that nobody—absolutely nobody!—is beyond redemption. With capital punishment the state places itself between wrongdoers and God's grace given on the cross.

One Kenosha church, whose sign was destroyed by fire amid unrest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, says, "We would rather lose 100 buildings than one more life to police violence." https://t.co/xNymxc28hd

@TYsAdventures I recall seeing something about wheel chair entrance right by the Lincoln Memorial.

[Cassandra Lawrence @CassLawrence]

Line to get temp check to enter the viewing area snakes down from 17th to Lincoln back to 17th and back. Word from some park rangers is the south side entrance may have shorter lines. #MarchOnWashington2020 #NANMOW2020

@WandaSpeaks67 I don’t know. Sorry. I just got out of the line to sit on the grass

[Cassandra Lawrence @CassLawrence]

Got out of line to sit on the grass just outside the gated area. Don’t wait to get through the gates.

Made my way near the White House to start what’s sure to be two days jam-packed with protests. Been a while since I’ve seen BLM Plaza bustling with activity like this. Hundreds of people, music blaring and the smell of incense in the air.

[Cassandra Lawrence @CassLawrence]

Hey DMV friends I keep hearing about a pre program at the #NANMOW2020 of local speakers and artists but can’t find any official listing. Anyone have any leads?

[Cassandra Lawrence @CassLawrence]

#NOW: It’s Juneteenth in the nation’s capital and hundreds of marchers are kneeling in unison at the MLK memorial, heads bowed and fists raised, recounting the final moments of George Floyd’s life with an officer’s knee pinned on his neck.
