Pro-choice vigil for Dr. Tiller

06/02/2009 21:00

From the Minnesota Choice Coalition

9-9:30pm

On Sunday, May 31, Dr. George Tiller was murdered as he entered his church in Wichita, Kansas. Dr. Tiller provided abortion services in the state of Kansas and was a frequent target of harassment and intimidation. The pro-choice community is reeling from this act of violence against one of our greatest advocates, and many pro-choice supporters have contacted us asking what they can do.Rather than letting this unspeakable act divide us, let's work together with civility and respect. Let us offer our encouragement and support to those that continue to make women's health care a priority.Please join the Minnesota Choice Coalition in a candlelight vigil for Dr. Tiller tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2 from 9-9:30 p.m. in Loring Park in Minneapolis.  There will be no speaking program, no bullhorns, no chanting and no political rhetoric. We just want to gather to silently reflect on one man’s life and contribution to the pro-choice movement, and to mourn among other pro-choice supporters.
Please bring your own candle, and meet us in Loring Park Tuesday night from 9-9:30 p.m.
