Raleigh NOW is organizing escorts to help women patients into a women's clinic in Raleigh.

Please look at your calendars and pick a Saturday or two to help out for a very good cause. These women need us to make them feel safe. There are protesters at this clinic. The decision these women make is a very difficult one and anything we can do to help minimize harassment is useful.

Email president@raleighnow.org if you are interested in helping.
