Photos from the Yale Rally to Stand up for Women's Health and Planned Parenthood
March 4, 2011
On Wednesday, March 2, Yale students marched with banners and signs from Dwight Hall to City Hall to rally in support of Planned Parenthood and against the Pence Amendment, a recent amendment passed by the U.S. House of Representatives to strip Planned Parenthood of all its federal funding. The rally was hosted by the Liberal Party of the YPU, the Yale Women’s Center, and Planned Parenthood of Southern New England. Broad Recognition was there to march and take photos, posted below.
