40 days for “life” Begins Tomorrow. Help Your Local Clinic!

40 Days For Life, an anti-choice campaign in which protesters gather around abortion clinics and make it a point to harrass and terrorize women for 40 days, begins on Wednesday, September 23rd. Sometimes, the protesters simply stand there and pray. However, it’s not rare for them to act out and to get violent.

Abortion clinics need YOUR help now more than ever, ESPECIALLY if a clinic close to you is one of the facilities being targeted by anti-choicers. To see if a clinic close to you is being targeted for protest, click here .

The most helpful thing you can do is probably volunteering to escort at a clinic. Counter-protesters are nice, but clinic escorts really help to make the environment a lot less hostile. They act as a GREAT buffer.

To get more information on what you can do to help, what to expect, a list of dos and donts, etc, check out this post that was made on Facebook. It’s really helpful!

 

Let the pro-choice voice be heard! WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN!
