The Pitkin County Democratic Party held a rally Saturday afternoon in Aspen’s Paepcke Park in support of women’s reproductive rights. The event was in response to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s draft ruling on Roe v. Wade, which could potentially take away a woman’s right to abortion at the federal level.

The organization said the event was “in support of a woman’s constitutional right to make her own reproductive health decision without a Republican in her womb.”

Speakers included Pitkin County Democrats Howard and Betty Wallach, as well as current Aspen City Councilwoman Rachel Richards. Many women also took to the stage to share their stories and feelings when the microphone was opened to the public.



Pitkin County Democrats’ next platform is a town hall meeting at the Aspen Public Library on Monday from 5-6 p.m. with Colorado State House of Representatives District 57 Democratic candidates Elizabeth Velasco and Cole Burger. Both candidates are looking to run against District 57 incumbent Perry Will, a Republican from New Castle.

The entire Roaring Fork Valley, including Aspen and Basalt, will become part of District 57 next year as part of the recent redistricting.



Monday’s event is not a debate, and will largely be Howard Wallach asking questions of both candidates.
