Hundreds of pro-abortion rights activists gathered in front of the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse on May 3 to speak out against the recently leaked Supreme Court draft that could potentially overturn Roe V. Wade.

The draft of the decision was leaked on May 2 to the media outlet Politico. As a response, people all over the country took to the streets in hopes that their voices may be heard by the justices of the Supreme Court.

People of all ages participated in the peaceful protest, holding signs and chanting phrases such as “They say no-choice, we say pro-choice.”

This was one of many protests in Long Beach that took place throughout the week, and it is foreseen that many more will happen in the near future.
