Help EMU Students For Life Attend 2016 March For Life in DC!

 
STUDENTS FOR LIFE AT EMU SEEKING YOUR SUPPORT
HELP THEM ATTEND THE 2016 MARCH FOR LIFE in Washington DC!
Message from Katie Perrotta, President, Students for Life at EMU

We are Students for Life at EMU, one of the most active pro-life groups in Michigan, and one of the most active student organizations at EMU.

We'd like to attend the largest PRO-LIFE event in our country; THE MARCH FOR LIFE 2016.

... but for most of us, the $180 is cost prohibitive for us to attend. The March for Life is an incredibly effective way to engage college students, and is known to change lives and inspire students to do full time pro-life work.

Please consider supporting passionate pro-life college students who are up against a very tough campus. Our professors, our administration, our fellow classmates are generally in opposition to our strongly held pro-life beliefs. But we will not back down. Help us stand strong for LIFE. We want to go- we want to be inspired. And YOU can help make that happen!

Please consider a donation to send EMU Students for Life to the March for Life 2016.

Here is our GoFundMe link: https://www.gofundme.com/v98qhv4s

Please join your neighbors on Sunday, Nov. 1st for the 40 Days For Life Ann Arbor, Completion of Our Interfaith Jericho March and Closing Celebration, which will begin at 2:00 pm, outside the Planned Parenthood abortion facility, 3100 Professional Drive in Ann Arbor. This will complete our seventh and final day, with our seventh and final one mile lap around the triangular block that surrounds Planned Parenthood, as we sing, pray and play instruments. So bring musical instruments: your trumpets, tambourines, drums, djembe, shakers, noise makers, maracas, squeezebox, slide whistle, cymbals, clapper, rhythm sticks, triangle, bells, recorder, sand blocks, rattles, aluminum pie plate and wooden spoon etc and make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Signs will be available. We will finish off our Closing Celebration with a Pizza Party immediately following the Jericho March or approximately 3:00 pm. We will head over to 3800 Packard to the Word of God office from 3:00 to 3:45 or so, for a Pizza Party. (Directions: from Professional Drive turn right (south) onto Huron Parkway. At the 2nd light, turn left onto Packard. Watch for the 40 DFL yard signs in front of the Word of God office. Total distance 1.7 miles.)



If you plan to join us for the pizza party, please reply to this email, with the number of persons attending, as this would be helpful for planning, but is not mandatory.
 
As the seventh day of a Jericho March includes seven laps, beginning at 8:00 am, participants will depart from PP for lap one; at 9:00 am participants will depart from PP for lap two and so on; at 10:00 am for lap three; 11:00 am for lap four; 12:00 noon for lap five and 1:00 pm for lap six. Our seventh and final lap will begin our Closing Celebration at 2:00 pm.







Day one of our Jericho March began with our Jericho March and Kickoff Rally on Sunday, Sep. 20th, with nearly 100 participants. We don’t expect the physical walls of the building to crumble, but we do expect the spiritual walls to begin to crumble, so that Planned Parenthood’s chambers will no longer be used to destroy children, so that workers and mothers and fathers and children and families and communities and our nation can be freed from their deadly influence. Everyone is invited to join us in this Interfaith Expression of Spiritual Warfare.

Ann Arbor Organizers Report on the ‪#PPSellsBabyParts “National Day of Protest Against Planned Parenthood,”


       
“This is a movement and there is no stopping us now.
Propaganda Ha, I think not,
we rely on the facts and can back them up!” Anne K on FB
 
Ann Arbor Organizers Report on the ‪#PPSellsBabyParts
“National Day of Protest Against Planned Parenthood,”
Thank you Father Tom for your support!

NATIONAL PROTEST Update:
“On August 22, pro-lifers gathered at Planned Parenthood locations throughout the United States and in six foreign countries to protest Planned Parenthood’s scandalous practice of trafficking in aborted baby body parts, as exposed in a series of videos from the Center for Medical Progress, www.centerformedicalprogress.org/.” It goes onto say, “With 337 sites reporting out of a total of 354, total participation has hit 78,590, making this the single largest protest day in the history of the pro-life movement.” Go to: www.protestpp.com/ regarding the ‪#PPSellsBabyParts  “National Day of Protest Against Planned Parenthood,”

LIVONIA PROTESTER DIES:
Lifenews.com reports: Pro-Life Advocate (Robert Adis from Canton) Dies Protesting at Planned Parenthood, His Last Act is Standing Up for Life  (Robert was participating in the Livonia protest. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.)
http://www.lifenews.com/2015/08/31/pro-life-advocate-dies-protesting-at-planned-parenthood-his-last-act-is-standing-up-for-life/

ANN ARBOR HIGHLIGHTS:
 On August 22, 2015 more than 155 people participanted in the ‪#PPSellsBabyParts “National Day of Protest Against Planned Parenthood” in Ann Arbor MI at the Planned Parenthood resource center on Stadium Blvd, with another 200 participanting at the Professional Drive Planned Parenthod abortion facility in Ann Arbor.

Participants of the two Ann Arbor protests came from far and wide: Adrian, Ann Arbor, Belleville, Blissfield, Britton, Brownstown, Canton, Carleton, Chelsea, Dexter, Grasslake, Gregory, Hillsdale, Leslie, Livonia, Milford, Milan, Monroe, New Boston, New Hudson, Northville, Plymouth, Saline, South Lyon, Southgate, Wayne, Westland, Wixom, Wyandotte and Ypsilanti. PLAN (Pro-Life Action Network Inc) and 40 Days For Life Ann Arbor, have over one hundred seventy new pro-life contacts from those that emailed us and attended the two Ann Arbor protests.

Steve Gendredge, organizer of the Protest of the Planned Parenthood on Professional Drive reports the following:  Just wanted to write a few things about Saturdays protest against PP.   We had around 200 people show up.   I wanted to say thank you to all those who participated, and especially those who worked to get the word out without even being asked.   People put notices in Bulletins and made phone calls to radio stations.  That was awesome.   Thank you to sidewalk advocates, for sidewalk counseling to women going into Planned Parenthood during the protest. We had several clergy present.  There was a Priest from St. Francis, I believe several deacons from local parishes.  I met Pastor Don Potocki from Briarwood Baptist Church The mood was very upbeat.  People were very encouraged by the number of people that showed up. There was a lot of honking in support (and some not in support). 

One gentleman told me he was not planning on being there, however his son was, and when his son missed his ride, he brought him and wasn’t planning on staying.  After arriving he felt he was supposed to stay.  Then during the event he felt called to ask everyone to gather in the cul-de-sac in front of Planned Parenthood for prayer at the end.  During the protest, the owner of TCBY Yogurt located at 3354 Washtenaw, Suite E, decided he wanted to give everyone frozen yogurt because he felt we were fighting for a good cause.  One brave young woman held a sign that said “Abused?  So was I.  Today I am 17 weeks pregnant.  #I CHOOSE LIFE”. I saw seasoned pro-life activist, and saw a lot of new faces.  I also felt a lot of hope.   Thanks again to everyone who participated with a very special thank you to: Deacon Larry Randolph, from Christ The King; Father Tom Wasilewski from St Francis of Assisi and Pastor Don Potocki from Briarwood Baptist Church. Steve Gendregske

Sandie Weathers, organizer of the Protest of the Planned Parenthood on Stadium Blvd reports the following:, “I am very touched and encouraged by all of the people in our area, that are speaking out about the evils that are going on within the walls of Planned Parenthood in our community and around the country.” Mary sent an email to the Ann Arbor organizers stating, “I have always been prolife, the recent exposure of planned parenthood's unashamedly ignoring our laws against the sale of infant's organs has now made me an activist. How can I help, or participate in…?” Allison emailed, “Our family is planning on heading up from Jonesville, MI tomorrow morning to participate in the PP protests.”  Weathers organized the protest at the Stadium Blvd Planned Parenthood location in Ann Arbor. More news to follow from Steve Gendregske the organizer of the protest at the Planned Parenthood abortion facility on Professional Dr in Ann Arbor. And yet another shared that he had always been pro-choice, but since the videos have come out, he wants to do whatever he can to advance the pro-life cause. Danielle says, “I want to get involved in the protest. As a Christian, I stand for life. My heart breaks for these babies.” Adam says, “I've never attended any sort of protest before, but just might come out for this one.” Sam says, “I had all the kids with me and we drove by twice and honked and waved. Thank you so so much for all you do!” A little girl participating in the Stadium Bldv protest, reported that after one hour, she counted 64 people that had honked in support of the protester. Thank you to everyone who participated at the rally and those that prayed for us from their homes. A special thank you goes out to Pastor Charles Schulz from Concordia University for his participation and support at the Stadium Blvd location.

Weathers thinks that Anne K’s response on FB really summed up the sentiment of the protesters: “We had such a good response! I was so happy to see more of my friends there when I got off the bus (at 3100 Professional Dr) and I was floored! This is a movement and there is no stopping us now. Propaganda Ha, I think not, we rely on the facts and can back them up.”

Join the #WomenBetrayed National Rallies - over 65 cities Rally in Lansing Michigan!



 
 
 
 
This message is from
Kristan Hawkins,  President, Students for Life of America
Ten days ago our team launched the #WomenBetrayed National Rallies, with the goal to organize 10 rallies for tomorrow, Tuesday, July 28th, in key cities, but you, the grassroots pro-life movement had other plans!

Tomorrow, there will be #WomenBetrayed rallies in more than 65 cities!

Please join us at your local rally tomorrow! Most of the rallies are at 12:00pm noon local time and you can go to www.WomenBetrayed.com to check if there is a rally in your city and to get all the details.

It’s time to stop the more than $500 million taxpayer dollars that flow to the abortion Goliath every year. It’s the time for us to reach their would-be clients first to tell them the truth about Planned Parenthood's motives. It’s time to topple the first domino in our mission to end abortion in America.

If there is not a rally in your city, or you cannot attend, you can join the Washington, D.C. Rally with Dr. Ben Carson via the Periscope App available for both Android and Apple. Follow us: @Students4LifeHQ

I hope you can join us at one of our rally cities tomorrow as we stand together, demanding that Planned Parenthood be investigated for their role in harvesting and selling baby body parts and defunded from all of our tax dollars.

For Life,
