Looking For Clinic Defenders
On October 1st pro-lifers will gather at the Poughkeepsie Planned Parenthood for Pro-Life Memorial Day and to protest women's right to choose for over 30 years and the first day of the Supreme Court's new session. We are looking for people to come out and "defend" the clinic as a clinic escort. You will be trained and help people come into the clinic making sure they have access to the reproductive rights every person should have. Leave a comment for more info and if you have questions.
*EDIT* As there seems to be a lot of interest in times, transportation..etc, I'll post this here and if you have more questions let me know and I'll do what I can.
It's going to be an all day event from 8am till mid afternoon 3-4ish. Come whenever you can and stay for as little or long as you can I know people have work and classes. I'm hoping people will carpool with each other but if not I was gonna try and think of a meeting place where I can drive people to the clinic. I'd also love to hear from people in VOX and other feminist and activist groups on campus who want to get involved. I will post soon with a training date. The training will show you a video and give you a better understanding of the pro-life movement and why they're out there and what we can do to stop them from infringing on people's rights. It also teaches basic techniques of how to safely bring clients into the clinic during blockades.
