Martha Burzynski.jpgOn April 18, 2007 at 2:30 pm, after the Supreme Court decision was announced, NARAL New York began emailing to gather Pro-Choice supporters in Union Square. At 5:30 pm, after NARAL used only email to gather supporters, 300 plus people stood together in the uncommonly cold April afternoon. We held signs, embraced one another, and in my case, cried a little. Speakers included the head of NARAL New York, the director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, the Manhattan borough president, city council speaker Christine Quinn and Jean Malin, president of Planned Parenthood New York.

Besides the group shot, my favorite shot was a man holding a sign that simply said "Trust Women" because, really, isn't that the point?
