Organizers of the event in downtown Orlando include Rep. Anna Eskamani, Florida Access Network and Peer Support Space. 

Participants will march from The Beacham to City Hall starting at 5:30 pm Monday calling on the state to enshrine certain protections for early-term abortions.

The rally follows nationwide protests over the weekend including in Florida’s capitol, Tallahassee.
