Unite Against the War on Women

On Saturday, April 28, 2012, in cities and Capitols across America, the Fem Dems helped organize the local march and rally here in Sacramento to Unite Against the War on Women.  April 28th was a day when Americans loudly denounced the ongoing attacks on women from the extreme right as well as to honored the diversity and continued fight for the freedom of women. 

The Fem Dems are proud to endorse this new and growing movement, 'Unite Women' and we are proud to have been a part of the organizing committee for the Sacramento march and rally.
