Thousands marched to protest the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade after a leaked majority opinion draft from the Supreme Court signaled the landmark case could be overturned. The march, organized by the Boston Socialist Alternative, began at the Massachusetts State House, traveled along Tremont and Park Street and looped around the Boston Commons. The group ended at the State House with a rally.
