The Post reported that “more than 500” people showed up last night. You can read the leaked opinion set to overturn Roe v. Wade and obtained by Politico here.
Local reaction and more photos from last night:
Abortion bans are class warfare.
Metro DC DSA will be rallying on the steps of the Supreme Court beginning at MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
Banning abortions will harm millions of people, especially people of color and working class people.

This is an immeasurable and disgusting attack on Women’s rights. Roe v. Wade has been the law of the land for a half century. Millions of women across the country will be subjected to unnecessary physical danger by this ruling. We must fight to protect maternal health. https://t.co/2kYNheoXyx

The institution responsible for protecting our liberties has voted to strip us of the fundamental right to control our own bodies.
And as always, it will be poor and marginalized communities who suffer most.
We will fight back with every ounce of our being. https://t.co/sCsyWxG5gG

Make no mistake, a new Congress next year can come for reproductive rights in DC. A lack of Statehood not only meant we had no vote on these Supreme Court justices, but the members that put them in could change our local laws. DC can’t be a bargaining chip again. #HandsOffDC https://t.co/BeBcMkoRCO

Join @HarrietsDreams as we center resilience in the face of the proposed overturning of abortion rights and impending criminalization of Black freedom and choice. Abortion is healthcare, and we deserve care not cages.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
