Every weekend, they occupy the sidewalk where the Pink House’s sign used to be, reminding people that while abortion and privacy rights have been upended in Mississippi, the fight is long from over.
John Osborne, co-creator of Stay Pink and one of the men holding up the signs, decided to take a stand in support of abortion rights during the summer after the Dobbs decision leaked. The streets around the Pink House descended into chaos soon after, with abortion rights opponents on one side, supporters on the other and media from all over the country in between.

..."In a movement that has been going on as long as the one for abortion rights, Allen stressed the importance of community care and boundaries. She also said that people who find themselves searching for ways to be actionable should look to organizations that have been on the ground doing the work instead of overpowering those voices or becoming involved with sources online who may not be truthful.
She warns of burning out too early, especially with midterms elections rapidly approaching. Both abortion rights supporters and opponents view the elections as opportunities to add leverage to their side in a continued battle over abortion access.
“Be safe. We’re in this for the long haul, and if you put all of your energy into it right now, you’re going to burn out, and that’s not useful to you. That’s not useful to me. That’s not useful to the movement,” she said. “It’s all about sustainability, baby.”
