Rally “Women’s Strike 2024 – We are not going back!” in Ventura

VENTURA, California – Women and men participated in the “Women’s Strike 2024 – We’re Not Going Back!” rally in Ventura.

The rally marked the second anniversary of the United States Supreme Court’s overturning of the Roe vs. Wade decision.

Justice for all Ventura County and Indivisible Ventura held a strike rally in front of the Ventura County Government Center on Monday afternoon.

Denise Tronstad expressed hope that the rally would inspire people to register to vote.

“I grew up under the protection of Roe v. Wade and thought that the matter was settled and that none of us would ever have to deal with the fact that all women fought for all women’s rights for so many years and that those rights are now over,” Tronstad said.

Participants in the women’s strike called on people to honk their horns.

Some did, some didn’t.

There were no counterprotests nearby, but a “Walk for Life” rally was held in Santa Maria over the weekend celebrating the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
