ORLANDO, FLORIDA –– On Thursday, August 1 at 4pm ET, Free & Just’s “Ride to Decide” national bus tour will stop in Orlando to highlight what’s at stake as extremist lawmakers work to ban abortion nationwide. The “Ride to Decide” tour features storytellers from different communities, including patients, health care providers, faith leaders, and families impacted by abortion bans and ongoing attacks on reproductive freedom. As the bus travels through areas where attacks on reproductive health care have left communities with limited options, Free & Just will provide contraceptives including condoms and Opill, the first over-the-counter birth control pill available in the U.S.
The “Ride to Decide” bus tour comes as attacks on reproductive freedom escalate across the country. Support for legal abortion has increased since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, but that hasn’t stopped anti-abortion extremists and conservative lawmakers from continuing to undermine Americans’ access to abortion care, birth control, and IVF treatment.
Join Free & Just on Thursday to hear from patient storytellers, health care providers, and community members about how attacks on abortion access and reproductive freedom harm women and families in Florida and across the country.
