Augusta County Democrats have organized the “Rally For Our *$?&@! Freedom” event on Saturday, July 9, from 10 a.m. to noon.

The event will take place at the Augusta County Courthouse in Staunton.

The event Facebook page reads: “We have lost a great deal in the past few weeks. We are gathering together with like-minded people to rally for our *$?&@! freedom.”

On June 26, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a judicial precedent that had guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion.

There will be an opportunity for those who wish to speak publicly at the event.

The group plans to disperse at noon.
