Roe v. Wade, taking place at City Hall in Gainesville, FL at 9am

Rachel Ann Mullins is a leading

winning filmmaker. She is responsible for directing & producing
the documentary, Shame On You with Tiffany Haddish on gender based
violence, in addition to hosting over 150 episodes of the No Filter

Mullins writes, "A substantial piece of my career has been
dedicated to utilizing my voice to champion survivors of violence
and suppression. I'm overjoyed that my voice is going to be apart
of this historical Women's Day of Action event. This is my first
time publicly sharing the story of the violence I experienced in
Gainesville nearly a year
ago."
She will join host Misti Rucks,
Instructional Designer at University of
Florida IFAS as keynotes at Gainesville City Hall.
Rucks explained, "I felt called to join the national day of
action on June 24th after having a
hysterectomy that saved my life. The process of finding a doctor
who would not only listen to me, but provide treatment options was
difficult. I was slowly bleeding to death for three years and I had
doctors tell me that 'nothing was wrong with me', even though the
test results showed that I was anemic with hemoglobin well below
the average needed to be a healthy human. I felt like a zombie
because I was so low on blood. After the doctor shopping and
injustice I faced, I am left in anger at how women are treated, and
wanted to tell my story to the community."
The mission of Women's March is to harness the political power
of diverse women and their communities to create transformative
social change. Women's March is a women-led movement providing
intersectional education on a diverse range of issues and creating
entry points for new grassroots activists & organizers to
engage in their local communities through trainings, outreach
programs and events. Women's March is committed to dismantling
systems of oppression through nonviolent resistance and building
inclusive structures guided by self-determination, dignity and
respect.
