Upcoming CCPC Events
Shut Down Fake Pregnancy Centers! Thursday, October 6 from 11 am to 1 pm @ Cleveland Pregnancy Center, 3924 Lorain Ave. Cleveland 44113. Long before the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v Wade, anti – choice extremists have been attacking abortion access. One of their tactics is setting up fake ” pregnancy centers ” that look like medical clinics but don’t practice medicine or follow standardized ethics. There are six of these pregnancy centers in Cuyahoga County, and we need your help to SHUT. THEM. DOWN . Join us to #exposefakeclinics one by one starting with the Cleveland Pregnancy Center in Cleveland. We’ll gather on the street in front of the center to raise awareness and provide handouts with actual resources for people seeking care. And we won’t be alone – medical professionals and students are standing with us to stop these fake clinics. Sign making for this event: Monday, October 3 from 6 to 8 pm @ CCPC Office, 11910 Detroit Ave. Lakewood 44107. Please bring markers and posters if possible.
