Alliance for Choice is an organisation that campaigns for the extension of the 1967 Abortion Act to Northern Ireland. It is made up of women and men, from both Catholic and Protestant communities in the North of Ireland, who want to see equality and self-determination for women here. Alliance for Choice was set up in 1996, emerging from the Women’s Right to Choose Group, to encourage the incoming Labour government to implement Labour Party policy to extend the Act.
Much of our work has been about making heard the voices of the tens of thousands of women from NI who have had abortions in England and elsewhere since 1967 – thereby exposing the hypocrisy of the politicians who say there is “no demand for abortion rights” in NI.

![#JobstownNotGuilty March - 6/5/17 - Niamh Mahon Resident
Speech from Jobstown resident Niamh Mahon* at yesterdays #JobstownNotGuilty demonstration.
Ive always enjoyed living here and being part of community where everybody knows each other. We are an area that stands together in times of crisis, as we did in November 2014 [time of protest]
Burton and her assistant were delayed for about 2 hours in a sit-down protest. Later the state arrested two dozen people involved by arriving with large numbers of gardaí to their homes at 5 and 6 in the morning (dawn raids). Now 7 people face charges of false imprisonment for delaying this politician, which carries a maximum sentence of life in jail. And many more on other charges. #JobstownNotGuilty March - 6/5/17 - Niamh Mahon Resident](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DC22N53NAtY/mqdefault.jpg)
