Women’s March plans sit-in at White House to pressure Biden for more action defending abortion

The Women’s March is holding a Saturday rally in Washington in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and protesters say they’ll risk arrest to get their message across.

The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in Franklin Square Park near the White House.

The group plans to march to the White House and conduct a sit-in, where “Women’s March members will risk arrest to get our message over to President Biden: protect abortion,” reported WTTG in Washington.

Those who sign up for the event on the organization’s website are asked if they are willing to risk being arrested as a part of their demonstration.
