Dear John, This month seems to be flying by! We’re only a week away from the Oregon March for Life, and we’re getting closer and closer to Together We Advocate. Together We Advocate is the largest pro-life conference in the Pacific Northwest, and this year it will be held on March 4 at Rolling Hills Community Church in Tualatin. Registration is open, and early bird pricing is available until February 3. We’re excited to welcome some incredible speakers, including Mayra Rodriguez. Mayra was a Planned Parenthood clinic manager who blew the whistle on egregious misconduct at her affiliate. She worked there 17 years, managing several affiliates and received Planned Parenthood’s 2016 “Employee of the Year” award. After being abruptly fired, she sued, claiming her employer fired her for reporting critical safety and health violations, including incomplete abortions, falsification of patient records, illegal conduct, unreported statutory rape, severe injuries by abortion and high complication rates with a specific abortionist. A jury of her peers unanimously agreed. We have several other incredible speakers lined up, so we hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity. See you there! Because everyone deserves an advocate, Lois Anderson |
