Enough! Basta! Take Action

Take action!

A group of abortion providers and allies who are members of ACN have called for a campaign called "Enough! Basta! Stop Sidewalk Bullying at Women's Clinics." The campaign has a Cause page on Facebook where you will be able to see posted videos and donate to support more awareness of extreme bullying outside clinics. We also have a channel on YouTube.com where we will post videos. You can donate easily by using the DONATE button on our homepage. 

The group is looking for photos, video, and audio of extreme protests outside clinics and videographers who can convert footage to short videos that will let the public know that this unacceptable behavior has not gone away. Depending on the local situation, we will ask for pressure to be brought to bear on local, state or national levels.

We have a campaign goal to raise $10,000. The funds are needed to raise awareness of bullying and harassment of women and clinic workers. We are currently over 800 strong and have raised over $4600. You can donate even if you are not on Facebook by using the DONATE button on the homepage. Please also link to ACN and the Enough! Basta! campaign from your website and Facebook page and inform your contacts and supporters of this important campaign.

"Abortion providers who, after years and years of harassment by anti abortion extremists, have had ENOUGH. In some cases, we are seeing an increase in activity with the Obama win, but in some cases it has just been relentless for years. It is off the radar screen of the public and even prochoice folks. We would like to create, and encourage the creation of, several videos that would shed some light on this extreme behavior."

Our demands and beliefs:

1. We demand that police departments enforce existing laws to protect women, families, and health care workers from verbal bullying and terrorism.
2. We demand that local and state governments provide ordinances to protect health care clinics and that the Dept. of Justice step up their efforts to prosecute FACE violations, train local police, and protect clinics.
3. Control and terror tactics practiced in the name of religion are not free speech that should be protected, but bullying that must be stopped.
