Today in #Poland the parliament will vote on two new laws - one to restrict #abortion, the other to ban #SexEducation.

They know that massive women’s protests vs previous attempts are not possible. #ProtestAtHome for women's right to choose.

The banner and hashtag #NieSkladamyParasolek means 'we are not putting our umbrellas down".

The umbrellas were used during the Black Protest a few years ago and there are rainbows because the sex ed ban is targetting #LGBTI communities mainly. ☂️🏳️‍🌈

Drop the bills, #Poland!
