Demonstrators gathered in Minneapolis on June 24, 2022, the day the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that had established a constitutional right to abortion. The march moved along University Avenue, a corridor that runs through the University of Minnesota campus and connects downtown Minneapolis to Saint Paul. Marchers carried handmade signs referencing the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and reproductive rights, a common feature of rallies organized in cities nationwide that same week. Similar demonstrations took place in dozens of U.S. cities within hours of the ruling's release.
