Megan Amundson has heard about pockets of protests around Massachusetts, where grassroots women’s rights activists have blasted the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the unconstitutionality of the buffer zone, and their decision to side with Hobby Lobby in the debate on contraception coverage.

But a rally planned on the steps of City Hall this week will be a culmination of those efforts, and will bring together dozens of groups to speak out loudly against “this giant step back” for women.

“This rally will be providing an outlet for the anger that has been bubbling up on the ground,” said Amundson, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts. “People are really, really angry, and they’re also looking for a sense of community that they’re not the only ones who are upset about .”

In total, 21 groups, including the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, the Women’s Bar Association, Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts, GLAD, and Hollaback! Boston will convene on the steps outside of City Hall, and co-host the protest, called the “Supreme Rally for Women’s Equality,” on Tuesday evening at 5 p.m.
