In the past few weeks we have witnessed horrible acts of gun violence including against Black grocery store shoppers in Buffalo, NY<\/a>; 4th graders and teachers in Uvalde, TX<\/a>; Taiwanese worshipers in Laguna Woods, CA<\/a>; and families at both an outdoor festival<\/a> and a hospital<\/a> in Tulsa, OK. In the midst of grief, rage, fear, and frustration, people are organizing all across the country to call for a USA where people feel safe going about daily life and <\/strong>where, like in many other countries, mass shootings are history<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>Read on for a round-up of upcoming actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many are also drawing connections between safety from gun violence and full access to reproductive health care, asking why those in power are limiting people\u2019s freedom to make decisions about their own bodies more harshly than they are regulating deadly weapons. Just a few weeks ago, thousands of Oregonians participated in dozens of actions across the state to demand reproductive justice in response to the leaked draft opinion from the US Supreme Court that, if finalized, will overturn Roe v. Wade. We were part of a larger day of action that took place across the country, and as folks prepare for actions on June 11th, we wanted to share powerful photos from some of the Bans Off Our Bodies events. Here is a sneak peek at the amazing images from May 14:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
