Dear Ms. Brown:
Thank you for your participation in today's news conference. This was a significant event for the
pro-choice movement as it signals the blending of our voices to meet the challenge of the opposition.
Community leaders such as yourself who have over the years given the guidance and leadership to achieve significant legislation, education and advocacy will continue to be called upon as we chart the course together.
Our sincerest appreciation to all of you. We look forward to community wide support and expression of our shared concerns.
Sincerely,
