Anchorage People's Rally
Please join us for a People’s Rally in Anchorage town square with speakers and music followed by a day of action with our event collaborators at Williwaw. We will hear from organizations about the work they are doing within our community and opportunities for participants to sign up to help work with organizations to better represent and support our community. Now more than ever we need community and to take action and that means we need YOU!
We welcome you to bring signs and friends as we join together in unity and resistance.
Below you’ll find sign guidelines provided by Women’s March.

We ask you to please err on the side of unity and avoid symbols and language that alienate parts of our community.
- No coathangers - we do not want to accidentally re-enforce the Right Wing talking points that self-managed abortions are dangerous, scary and harmful.
- No Handmaid’s Tale - The use of Handmaid's Tale imagery to characterize the controlling of women’s reproduction has proliferated, primarily by white women across the country, since the show has gained popularity. This message continues to create more fragmentation, often around race and class, because it erases the fact that Black women, undocumented women, incarcerated women, poor women, disabled women have always had their reproduction controlled in this country. It’s not some dystopic future or past. This is just a heightened attack. We cannot list actions on our map that use Handmaid’s Tale imagery or language, as it is not aligned with our values. Refusal to respect this guideline will be grounds for removal from this action, and other potential future actions.
- No female slavery messaging - The current state of reproductive rights is not akin to the United States’ history of slavery. Comparing the current state of reproductive rights to slavery minimizes the immense amount of violence, generational damage, and the scale to which the United States harmed Black and Indigenous people. This messagining is not inclusive and not accurate.
DO NOT USE: “Safe, legal, and rare” as it is stigmatizing and contends that abortion is not something that should be happening, thus it should be rare and reduced. There will be as many abortions as there need to be. The anti-abortion movement does not get to dictate who has abortions and why.
