Thank you for supporting our 5th annual Pledge-a-Picket campaign.  Please click here to fulfill you pledge.

When protesters gather outside our 16 health centers, they subject our patients to verbal attacks and graphic signs meant to confuse and intimidate; they try to block our patients from entering the building; occasionally videotape them; and offer anti-choice propaganda and free rides to the closest “crisis pregnancy center.”

Staff and volunteers are also seen as targets. We are called "murderers," are lectured to about "committing sins," and are told we will pay the “ultimate price” for our actions.

How Pledge-a-Picket Works

You decide on the amount you would like to pledge for each protester (minimum 10¢). When protesters show up on our sidewalks at our Locust Street and our Far Northeast Health Centers, PPSP will count and record their number every day for two months. We will place a large sign outside of both health centers to track pledges and make protesters fully aware that their actions are benefiting PPSP. At the end of the two-month campaign, we will send you an update on protest activities along with a pledge reminder.

Example of  Pledge

If you pledge 30¢ per protester, and PPSP has 100 protesters in October and 160 protesters in November, your donation would be $78 for the entire two-month campaign.

Similar to sponsoring a runner in a charity marathon, your pledge total can be capped at a pre-set amount, if desired.

Ways to Participate

Our 5th annual Pledge-a-Picket campaign was a great success.  Our next campaing will run October 1 through November 30, 2010.  Please come back in September to sign up for the campaign.

Our Inspiration

Chanell Moore Harrell was a long-term PPSP staff member whose untimely death in late 2005 saddened us all. Chanell faced many picketers while at PPSP and handled them with grace and humor. We conduct this Pledge-a-Picket Campaign in her memory.
