Abortion rights advocates want to send delegates a message when they come to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention in August: They’re tired of what they say is “lip service” from the Democratic Party when it comes to reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights, and they’re demanding action.
“We are tired of politicians using our slogans as talking points and then failing to deliver,” said Linda Loew, co-founder of Chicago For Abortion Rights, during a news conference Tuesday at City Hall. “No delegate will arrive in, or leave, Chicago without hearing our voice and knowing that we are serious about fighting for our rights and winning them.”
