Pro-choice liberals, including a northern California public school board member, are calling for boycotts of Independence Day to protest the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The progressives, many of them women, started calling for the boycotts on social media hours after the U.S. Supreme Court voted on June 24 to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion and return jurisdiction over the procedure to state legislatures.
In a press release on Friday, Bans Off Our Bodies Florida announced a July 2-4 “Independence Day Boycott from Roe v Wade Decision” that calls for a “total freeze-out” on retail spending.
