A multi-group rally kicked off in response to the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade earlier in the day. Hundreds of protestors listened to speeches and then started marching down Grant Street away from the City-County Building. The Protestors were chanting “our streets” as they turned down the Boulevard of the Allies. After circling several city blocks the marchers have made it back to the City-County building and organizers said they are offering reproductive and abortion resources and abortion-rights advocacy options.
