Crisis Pregnancy Center Action Planning |
|
Monday, October 3 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm |
|
The Mutual Aid committee is hosting a planning meeting to discuss having an action to counter the misinformation and harmful practices that crisis pregnancy centers continue to perpetuate.
In the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned there has been an outpouring of support and actions to provide aid to abortion clinics and other providers that deal in reproductive health. However we believe that there needs to be more done to address those that purposely use misinformation and intimidation to force people to not have abortions.
Please join us in having this discussion and gathering information. |
