National Nurses United is participating this week in the first-ever “Trust Women Week,” an online mass mobilization on behalf of women’s lives and rights.

The nurses, MoveOn and 50 other organizations are taking part in the nationwide campaign.

Messages from “virtual marchers,” as participants are known, are being packaged and delivered online directly to members of Congress, governors and state legislators to underscore that America must trust women to make their own decisions about their bodies and their lives.

Trust Women Week overlaps the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and reasserts women’s commitment to reclaiming the future of reproductive decision-making in 2012.

At mid-week, over 70,000 messages had been sent to members of Congress, governors and state legislators in support of reproductive justice, reproductive health and reproductive rights.

Women who want to take part, should go to www.MainStreetContract.org.
