Hi Everyone,
a) Sign On Letter-please sign and share!
b) Committees
c) Email listserv
a) Community members of the Ovary Board, along with Tara Romano of Pro-Choice
NC, have worked hard to put together a short letter to send to Ashe County
Commissioners. The letter expresses our opposition to the recently adopted
"Right To Life Resolution" and we need signatures. Please sign and forward to
your network. Here is the link to the form
<https://forms.gle/SnW6TjhJGQgaDkH5A> . Note: if you have already signed it,
you will not be able to see the form again when you click on the link. But
others who have not signed it will see a form they can fill out. I have
attached a pdf of the blank form, so you have that if you need to reference it.
Looking forward to getting as many signatures as possible, and being able to
announce to the commissioners a pro-choice presence in Ashe County!
b) If you haven't joined a committee yet, please consider joining one from the

for this group yet. Please reply with your email address if you can be that

c) I'm trying to move away from using this long, ever-changing email list, so
I've set up a listserv that should allow us to communicate better.

<https://www.freelists.org/list/ovaryboard> or by sending an email to
ovaryboard-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field.
