Hundreds of protestors took to the street Saturday to protest the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. A gathering in downtown Brooklyn was one of hundreds across the nation.

Organizers with Planned Parenthood of Greater New York say that more than 30,000 people registered for the event.

“What we are planning is to create a powerful space for all of our community members to come to be together during this outrageous time,” Nicole Margiasso said, director of community organizing with Planned Parenthood of Greater New York.

Protesters marched with banners in hand — some holding cut outs of Supreme Court judges. They walked from Cadman Plaza Park onto the Brooklyn Bridge towards Foley Square in Lower Manhattan.

“This is an incredible time, we are angry we have got to get together and make sure that the Supreme Court knows that we are not going back,” Kimberly S. Adams said, walking among a sea of protestors on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Several elected officials and celebrities including Mayor Eric Adams joined the protesters into Manhattan.

“We don’t want to go back to the days of women being brutalized to seek abortion. It’s clear that women should have a right to control their body we’re marching here we think it’s crucial,” Adams said.

“80% of American citizens support, the supreme court pending decision — it’s criminal is what it is. I believe in abortion rights and all health care rights for women,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus said, actress known for her work on the sitcom Seinfeld.

Once in Manhattan, not even the rain could stop those rallying in front of a stage where several speakers and artists performed.

“It’s so beautiful to see every color shape sexual orientation here and I’m really proud and thankful to be part of it,” Tara Sanders said, a volunteer among the marchers.

The group was very diverse made up of men women, children and those who identify as non-binary — most saying they’re adding their presence to this issue.

“If they get a woman’s right to choose where will they stop will they stop with gay marriage will they stop with interracial marriage this is an important part of our history where we have to take to the streets,” Kimberly Adams said.
