What action do you take? 

Desperate women gathered on April 2 at the George Washington monument on the statehouse grounds to carry out their scheme. There, one protestor told an onlooker that, “we celebrate our right to live.”

The women decided to seek help from Virginia governor John Letcher first.

His response did not satisfy them.
