They'll be rallying to protect the abortion drug Mifepristone.
A protest will happen at 1 p.m. at Federal Plaza.
It's one of the dozens of protests we're expecting to see, across the country.
The protest comes after the U.S. Supreme Court kept the federal rules for use of the drug in place as legal challenges play out.
Just over a week ago, a federal judge in Texas essentially revoked FDA approval for the drug. Shortly after, in a separate case, a different federal judge ruled states offering Mifepristone cannot restrict access to it.
