Celebrating Small Victories


As you know, feminists across the country took action on Monday, April 13, as part of the National Crisis Pregnancy Center Protest Day.  For some, the day included protesting outside of fake clinics; for others, tabling and flyering on campus.

One exciting story from Cal State Long Beach...

When members of the  "Feminist Organization Reclaiming Consciousness and Equality" (FORCE) found out anti-choice protesters were planning to be on campus on April 13 (giant posters and all), they gathered as many people as possible and held an improptu fake clinic counter-protest near by.  As FORCE gathered more and more support from the student body, the anti-choice group eventually got the message that their lies weren't needed and hit the road!

Three cheers to FORCE for making their voice heard--loud and clear!
