FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
This event is open to all ages! However, due to the fact that this is a reproductive justice event parents should be aware that there will potentially be detailed discussion of various reproductive justice topics including abortion access, birth control, rape, domestic violence, survivor issues, and racism. Please exercise your best judgement about your children's maturity and sensitivity in your decision whether or not to bring your them, but they are welcome as long as they are supervised by an adult. There will be an area at the rally just for kids with a few fun activities.
