Raleigh Stands Against Abortion Hate & Bans
About this Event
Why we're showing up
We're organizing to bring the fight for abortion liberation to the front of your priority list — and to connect our community to the many opportunities to fight for abortion rights locally and statewide.
We're gathering at a local abortion care provider that's closed for the day. That same day, a massive anti-abortion harassment march is planned for this clinic, designed to disrupt people trying to access care.
Join us for a rally and counter protest where we defend abortion rights and learn firsthand what's at stake for people seeking care across our community, the state, and the country.
We also encourage attendees to bring along a donation of diapers, wipes, or period products (Pads, Tampons, Cups, Period Panties) for local mutual aide efforts. This request is made on behalf of attendees with the means to make such donations, all are welcome to attend regardless of ability to donate.

What should I bring with me?
Since parking is a bit further from the protest site than we would love, we recommend bringing what you can comfortably carry and have on your person for 2 hours.
If you opt to bring a donation for our diaper and period product drive - You can drop it off before parking! We will have a table set up at 3305 Drake Cirlce to collect donations!
Protest Specifics & Guidelines
This will most likely be an unpermitted protest (we are inquiring about permits tomorrow but ultimately expect to be denied due to the anti-abortion group that protests outside this clinic having a standing permit they apply for weekly). That said - a permit is NOT requireed to legally gather and demonstrate in Wake County. There ARE rules that govern our right to gather.
- Please stay out of the public roadways except for when needing to cross the road. Do not protest from the roadway.
- Stand only on the outermost corners of the sidewalk / grassy areas of the easement.
- Stay off of private property, event if the businesses appear closed. This includes their parking lots.
- Protest signs must be held and cannot be affixed to a stick or pole. Police consider this a potential weapon and they WILL make you take your protest sign back to your car.
Our friendly clinic escorts (pictured below) will be on site to help guide you and ensure our protest follows all state and local ordinances and does not get disrupted by police.
