June 24, 2024, marks two years since the conservative Supreme Court Justices overturned Roe v. Wade and endangered abortion rights across the country with the Dobbs decision. Since then, lawmakers have passed legislation in several states effectively banning abortion and reproductive care. Activists are marking the anniversary of this devastating Supreme Court decision by reminding their communities of what’s at stake and mobilizing voters across the country to turnout for pro-abortion candidates in November.
