A rally took place with about 60 people in front of the federal building from 6:30 to 7:30. The organizers noted that the crowd was probably small because of FIFA and the heat (and for the usual random reasons, Instagram apparently didn’t show this event to a lot of people and I only heard about it yesterday). There were speakers from NOW, the League of Women Voters, and No Hate in Washington State (opposing the Brian Heywood anti-trans ballot initiatives). The common theme to most of their speeches was: vote. There is not much else that people in power are forced to listen to. Some speakers also shared some very personal stories about how much access to abortion care meant to them. submitted by /u/bennetthaselton |
