description The participant is holding a sign that reads, "Stand With Planned Parenthood." The rally was organized to protest recent actions of the Alabama Legislature. From the event's Facebook page: "Lately there has been a disturbing trend in Montgomery among some of our legislators and never has it been more evident then in the current Special Called Session. Our working class folks, their children, and our seniors, are all at risk for being left behind....forgotten at worst, marginalized at best. Bills are being passed in both branches that would devastate our low and middle income citizens if they were to become law, while the affluent would prosper. They have suggested raiding the Education Trust Fund, ending Medicaid and they have purposed a grossly skewed flat tax. The citizens of Alabama are LOSING THE BATTLE in Montgomery. This does NOT have to be the case however!!! The truth is the power of our voice, united, CAN OVERCOME the mega corporation's dollars and their influence in creating policy. The American Legislative Exchange Council has their political puppets doing exactly what they want them to do here in Alabama....creating legislation like the AAA, the charter bill, attempting to impose a flat tax that will help only themselves, trying to privatize our liquor sales and so much more. They may have influence in Montgomery but they DO NOT have influence over US, WE THE PEOPLE. We STILL HAVE OUR VOTE and our vote CAN overcome the tools they use: dollars, PR and misinformation. We just have to make a choice...do we continue to express our anger from our couches and from beside the water coolers or do we show up, en masse, to the steps of the Alabama State House to send a very strong and clear message that the people of Alabama will NO LONGER be silent. We have the power to, and it's time for us to begin, #TakingItBack ! Will you do YOUR part? Share this information with every single citizen and organization in Alabama that you know of and then make plans to car pool to Montgomery, signs in hand, to STORM THE STATE HOUSE....IT'S OUR TURN AND OUR TIME!!"
