This is a solidarity event with the Abortion Rights Campaign's 6th Annual March for Choice 30th Sept in Dublin.
We will make 205,704 chalk markings on the pavement outside the Irish Embassy; making visible the 205,704 Irish and Northern Irish women who have travelled to Great Britain for an abortion since the 8th Amendment in 1983.
The main gathering will start from 1.30pm with speeches beginning at 2pm sharp, so please arrive promptly. Banners and signs are very welcome. If you’re on Twitter, feel free to use the hashtags #205kTravelled and #TimeToAct.
We hope you can join us to stand in solidarity with the women* who have made this journey and to demand legislative change which guarantees choice.
*trans, and non-binary people
After the demo we will be heading to the WILTON ARMS pub. Less than 10min walk away. Google Maps link here: https://goo.gl/maps/17okYqNCS792)
