We’re thrilled to share highlights from the impactful Voices for Change March that took place on January 21, 2024. Organized by the Nancy Davis Foundation, this annual event stands as a beacon of advocacy for reproductive autonomy, social justice, and equality.
The Nancy Davis Foundation proudly presents the Voices for Change March, a significant annual event set to take place on January 21, 2024. This march holds particular significance as it commemorates the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision shaping the landscape of reproductive rights. Starting at 1pm, individuals from Baton Rouge, surrounding areas, and across the states will march from Galvez Plaza to the Louisiana State Capitol steps. Our advocacy focuses on reproductive autonomy, restoring control of medical decisions to patients and their healthcare providers, and championing social justice and equality.Â
The Nancy Davis Foundation is partnering with Senator Royce Duplesis, National Organization for Women-Baton Rouge Chapter, Women With A Vision, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, 10,000 Women Louisiana, and more to send a resounding call for positive societal shifts, unity, and the fundamental right to shape one’s reproductive choices. We will not accept unjust laws that cause doctors to fear caring for pregnant patients, because they may face outrageous fines and jail time. Pregnant people in crisis are being turned away by hospitals and clinics here in Baton Rouge and around the world; this is criminal. Politics have no place in the exam room and it’s our mission to get them out.
