NARAL Pro-Choice New York wants you! Join us on Sunday, September 7th for a fun-filled day of volunteer training and action!
Whether you are brand new to the pro-choice movement or have been working hard to make pro-choice change for thirty years, we invite you to come together to meet fellow pro-choice New Yorkers, talk about the issues, and learn time-tested methods of activism.
Then we will put our words into action by hitting the phones and the streets to build a pro-choice New York. This is a perfect opportunity for first timers excited to turn their ideals into action and for all who hope to revitalize their commitment to the pro-choice movement by getting active and sharing their experiences with others.
Help us mobilize pro-choice New York this election season!
E-mail us or call 646-520-3506.
Contact Lalena Howard to RSVP or for more information.

Run a Pro-Choice Anti-McCain Ad During the RNC Convention!
Across America, anti-choice elected officials and activists are working to ban abortion. From state legislatures to the campaign for the White House, efforts are underway to treat women like criminals and to prosecute trained medical doctors.
Banning abortion won't stop abortions, it will just make them extremely dangerous.
The How Much Time Campaign has created a great tv ad that you can pay as little as $50 to run it in an area of your choosing! Do it now to run it during the RNC convention!
To find out how, go here.

Become an Abortion Doula!
The Abortion Doula Project is seeking smart, awesome, caring women to be part of an amazing program in New York City!
What is an abortion doula?
An abortion doula is a woman who provides compassionate, continuous support for a person who is having an abortion. Abortion doulas use the same model of care as birth doulas, supporting a woman before, during and after her abortion. To learn a little more about doulas and abortion doulas, check out this article by Miriam Perez who has helped us get the NYC Abortion Doula Project off the ground.
The group is currently working on their website. In the meantime, please contact Mary at MaryM at protectchoice.org or Lauren at LaurenM at protectchoice.org.
