Protecty Abortion Rights March in Minneapolis

Demonstrators gathered in downtown Minneapolis on June 24, 2022, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned the 1973 precedent set by Roe v. Wade. The decision returned regulation of abortion access to individual states, prompting immediate marches in cities across the country. Minneapolis, home to a large student population tied to the University of Minnesota, saw crowds carrying hand-lettered signs referencing reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. Minnesota state law at the time continued to protect abortion access, a distinction organizers highlighted during the march.
