polo sandoval is in new york and naddio romero is live in atlanta. so let s check in with shimon prokupecz. what are you seeing? reporter: yeah, so thousands out here now, fredricka. as they listen to some of the speakers. that are taking the stage here, local politician and other folks from planned parenthood. speaking to the crowd and getting them fired up. and then look apr this crowd here as you see signs everywhere here for many of the people who have come here from all across the country. places like seattle, and other parts of west coast and people who drove here from baltimore, and from new york city. all wanting to be here to fight, they say, as they begin what they say a new phase in this fight. they are saying that they are fighting for abortion access, the concern being that many people who can t afford, who are living in poverty, this will effect them the most. and so many of them out here today fighting, voicing their opinion after the leaked draft opinion. as
about a mile and a half march over the brooklyn bridge, a symbolic gesture and then to lower manhattan where the message is very similar to what we just heard and saw previewed by our colleague shimon in washington, d.c. the message two-fold, speaking out against the opinion that was in that leaked supreme court memo, but also, according to one individual who is participating in this group, a man from queens said it is also standing in solidarity with women in states that are not pro-choice. so i think that is a really a message that we re getting here in new york state, perhaps compared to what we re seeing in other places. and they hope the rest of the country hears that this part of brooklyn and lower manhattan just gets started. thank you so much. we ll check back with you. on to atlanta now and there is nadia romero. and it looks like the crowd has gathered there.
