Rally for Real Sex Ed

Last week Illinois pro-choice activists held a day of action to call on the Governor to reject abstinence-only until marriage funds. It was capped off by a rally at Federal Plaza and if there's a rally, I'll try my best to be there! Here are some photos from the small, but passionate gathering.


Here we are chanting.






Here a passer-by stops to sign a postcard. WOOHOO!!











This young man and woman both performed their own spoken word pieces. They were AMAZING. I wish I had thought to click over to video on my camera. Then again, my battery was dying.










More chanting & rallying!

Now to wait and see what the Governor does....
