"At 6 o’clock the bar will be taken over by teams of women from bars around the city: Double Trouble, Poison Girl, Lil' Danny's and us (Grand Prize). We also have community outreach, legal aid, we have the Houston Area Women’s Center," said Lindsay Beale, the General Manager at Grand Prize. 

The event is named "Ovary Action" and aims to raise money for the ACLU, as well as provide resources to those with more questions than answers, after SCOTUS overturned the landmark abortion case, Roe v Wade last month. 

"100% of the sales from the upstairs bar this evening will go to the ACLU Texas. We’ll also have a table set up with QR codes if somebody would like to donate smaller or something more centralized as well," Beale said.

The event goes on from 6 p.m. to midnight at Grand Prize Bar.
