Hey all,
Just got this email from NARAL if anyone is interested-
NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota is teaming up with the National Council of Jewish Women to oppose Bush's latest pick for the Supreme Court, Samuel Alito. Alito's anti-choice record is crystal clear. If confirmed, he could help send us back to the days when knitting needles were used for more than just knitting-they were used by women desperate to end their pregnancies, who had no safe and legal alternative to self-induced abortion.
Join us for a Knit-In where we will remind Senator Coleman and Dayton that knitting needles should be used for making scarves. All scarves created at the knit-in will be donated to children in need.
What: Knit-In against Alito
When: Thursday, January 12, noon-2:00 pm
Where: MN State Capitol Rotunda
Senate confirmation hearings for Alito's nomination have been set to begin that week. Our timing will be a perfect reminder to our senators that they must protect a woman's right to choose.
Bring knitting needles if you have them. We will have extras there, along with experienced knitters to teach anyone who wants to learn how to knit.
RSVP to volunteer@prochoiceminnesota.org.
