From Focus on Jobs, Not Vaginas:

68th and Bluemound, Milwaukee, WI, 6:30 p.m.

We’re holding a peaceful vigil in Scott Walker’s neighborhood to memorialize the 70,000 women that die each year from unsafe abortion. We will share the stories of women that are no longer here to share their stories and make sure that their voice is heard loud and clear. We know that when access to abortions is restricted, they don’t just stop, but they become horrifically unsafe.

Please join us and help give women a voice that no longer have the ability to speak.

Wisconsin Conference Center, 400 W Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee

From the protest organizers:

The People want to share OUR VOICE at the Governor’s Conference also…
OCCUPY Milwaukee, Move To Amend of SE Wisconsin, and local Activists see all too clearly Anti-Women, Anti-Worker, and Racist legislation being implemented by current GOP governors. The fact that Scott Walker, (now Chairman of the National Governors Association), is hosting this year’s Governors Conference gives evidence to the direction that they want to see the USA devolve. This we protest. More Power to the People!
