Photo-illustrated flyer / handbill promoting a national march and rally in San Francisco on April 2, 1989 and another in Washington, D.C. the following week. Organizers and participants in the march sought to protect women’s rights to freedom of choice and privacy and to uphold protections provided by the Roe v. Wade decision. The flyer also calls for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, pay equity, and an end to all discrimination, including against gay and lesbian families. Organizers estimated that approximately 30,000 people participated in the march and rally, at that time believed to be the largest “pro-choice” gathering ever held in the Bay Area. A list of endorsers included the Coalition of Labor Union Women, the California Abortion Rights Action League, Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the California Teachers Association. The bottom of the flyer includes a small section intended to be cut off, where people could opt to endorse the march, give a monetary contribution, and/or provide other forms of help.

A great piece of Bay Area feminist ephemera!
