Are you feeling cooped up after weeks of social distancing and staying at home? Us too! To encourage our community to stay mentally and physically healthy AND prevent the spread of COVID-19, NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota's 10th annual Run for Your Rights event has a new twist: a virtual 5k!
What does this mean? Run for Your Rights 2020 participants will register and raise funds for abortion access just like past years. Instead of gathering together to run or walk on May 16th, we'll each complete the 5k run or 2.5k walk in our own neighborhoods while social distancing. Each registrant will receive a race bib kit in the mail, run playlists, and motivational videos. Participants will also have the option to track their 5k run or 2.5k walk and upload results using the Runkeeper app. After you complete your walk or run, we'll gather together to celebrate with a Zoom happy hour!
We need your help to reach our goal of $30,000 for abortion access in Minnesota! You can raise money on your own or create a team. Your registration fees and fundraising pledges will be put straight to work. We'll lobby on behalf of all Minnesotans who need abortion care and train the next generation of pro-choice leaders. We're committed to educating, training and organizing Minnesotans, and this year we're more determined than ever. We know you are too!
