Like many of you, I attended the Women’s March on Washington this past Saturday. It was one of the most powerful and inspiring days of my life. But it was just one day. Our opponents are working as hard as ever to dismantle a century’s worth of progressive achievements.
I just learned of an alarming example. On Saturday, February 11, anti-choice fanatics throughout the country plan to protest outside of Planned Parenthood Clinics as part of their crusade to deny federal funding to an organization that provides essential health services to millions of women.
You can find the locations these nuts plan to gather at here: protestpp.com/…
I don’t know if any counter protests have been organized yet. If anyone has any information in that regard, I’ll update this diary.
If counter-protests have yet to be organized, then perhaps this community should get to work. I don’t have any experience organizing protests myself, but I would gladly assist people who do.
For now, if you see your local Planned Parenthood Clinic on the anti-choice protest list, consider contacting them and asking how you might help counter the crazies. (Thanks to user lagunabeach for this idea!)
