Wyoming Abortion Rights

A new Wyoming coalition dedicated to the fight for abortion rights has formed and will be hosting its first event this weekend. Please sign up to join abortion rights advocates from around the state for a “teach-in” from 10 – 11 a.m. this Saturday, Jan. 7.

There will be a virtual event for folks statewide, as well as in-person events in Casper, Cheyenne, Lander, Jackson, Sheridan, and Laramie.

The event will include:

– an overview of the state of abortion rights in Wyoming
– a preview of what is coming up during the 2023 Legislative Session
– preparation to TAKE ACTION to protect our rights, our healthcare, and our freedom

Each event—both in-person and virtual—will cover the roughly the same material.

The anti-choice movement has grown its grassroots power in this state for too long, while pro-choice advocates have relied on court decisions to protect our rights. We can no longer sit back and allow that to happen. If you can, please join the teach-in on Saturday and get ready to act.
