DESCRIPTION:**BIG UPDATE**: Planned Parenthood is under attack by right-wing 
 conservatives who seek to influence the government into defunding it. So 
 far they have planned 104 rallies in 38 states, many will be in Sacramento. 
 Please join us in counter-protesting in order to defend Planned Parenthood, 
 which provides many services for women and men such as breast exams, STI 
 testing, provides birth control, etc.\n\nIf you are unable to 
 counter-protest (in support of PP), consider donating to PP. Follow this 
 link, and keep in mind you can donate to specific 
 clinics:\nhttps://secure.ppaction.org/site/Donation2?df_id=12833&12833.donation=form1&s_src=Evergreen_c3_PPDirected_tab\n\nThere 
 are currently 5 Sacramento region locations that are listed as targets on 
 February 11th (a Saturday). The locations are:\nSacramento-- 5385 Franklin 
 Blvd\nMidtown Sacramento--201 29th Street\nRoseville--729 Sunrise Avenue. 
 \nNorth Highlands--5700 Watt Avenue\nWoodland--520 Cottonwood 
 Street\n\nMost of these anti-PP protests (again WE are pro-PP, we are 
 counter-protesting the anti-PP people) are planned from 9am to 11am. I 
 would like to ask all of you to get there around 8am or 8:30 so we can be 
 there to show support before the opposition arrives. \nDue to the 
 overwhelming amount of people who are interested in protecting Planned 
 Parenthood, I would like to ask that we divide our efforts into protecting 
 all 5 locations (and other nearby locations not listed) so these all have 
 support. PLEASE keep in mind that you have to stay on the public sidewalk. 
 You cannot block driveways, cannot be on the street, cannot be in the 
 parking lot of any medical site (private property, police are then required 
 to remove you). \nChoose on your own which location you want to support. 
 \n\nThese are the event guidelines:\n\nGUIDELINES: \n~It’s a good idea to 
 have your participants wear pink to distinguish supporters from 
 protesters.\n\n~ For your safety and the safety of others, keep a distance 
 from the opposition – across the street from protesters is\nthe best 
 option if a health center is open. \n\n~ It’s best NOT to interact at all 
 with those opposing PP. Emotions can quickly escalate and lead to physical 
 altercation. DO NOT engage with them. \n\n~SPREAD OUT. This is a large 
 amount of people who want to come and support PP. Think strategically. Go 
 to various street corners in small groups (but do NOT block driveways and 
 DO stay on the sidewalk). \n\n~ DO SING, CHANT and promote pro-reproductive 
 rights/pro-woman/ pro-family messages! \n\n~Do BYOBB (Bring your own Bestie 
 or Best Buddy!)\nWe also ENCOURAGE you to continue to show your love for 
 our staff, patients, and mission:\n\nIF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A 
 PATIENT ESCORT:\nTo become an escort for future dates, sign up to volunteer 
 here: ppactionca.org. Only currently trained volunteer escorts will be 
 deployed on February 11.\n\nALSO: Please take pictures the day of the 
 counter-protest with the hashtag #StandWithPlannedParenthood and the site 
 you're defending!!\n
