Here's Something from Sloane

The 24 Hour Mandatory Delay Bill is Moving! Help needed!!!

1) Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee Hearing, Wednesday, March 18th @ 2:30pm, Columbia, SC

I am putting together a car pool group of Charlestonians to road trip up to Columbia so we can pack the room to put pressure on the legislators to STOP THIS BILL!!! We are meeting at the Health Center at 200 Rutledge Avenue, (big pink house across from Hominy Grill) at 10:30am to carpool up to the hearing (plenty of parking available). Dress is Business Casual (no jeans and sweatshirts please!). Lapel Stickers and Coffee and Donuts will be provided as well as a quick briefing before we get on the road! We will be back by 6pm at the latest. Please REPLY to this email if you want to come, I'm going to need to know a rough headcount! If you have a car and are willing to drive, please include that in your rsvp!

2) Additional Phone Bank, Monday 3/16 6-8pm (5:30 for new phone bankers)

With the subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, we are adding an additional phone bank calling into Peelers District (Chairman of the Committee) to tell supporters to call his office to tell him to STOP THIS BILL!! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!! Please let me know if you can come!

3) Pub Crawl, Tuesday 3/24, evening

Young Advocates, a Planned Parenthood club-similar to VOX-is organizing a Pub Crawl the night before Back Up Your Birth Control Day. They will be going to a bunch of bars downtown and handing out condoms, information on emergency contraception, and all other sorts of goodies. Historically, this has been a very fun event and tons of help is needed! Please contact keirawilliams@gmail.com if you want more information or want to help out!

HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!

TOGETHER, WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
