Are you ready to take step to fight fake clinics in Baltimore City?

We need your help to ensure Baltimore women are aware of the deceptive practices of CPCs.
Join NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland and Planned Parenthood of Maryland on October 13th and 14th and help us call pro-choice Marylanders to discuss CPCs.
Enjoy the company of fellow pro-choice activists while working to ensure Baltimore City women receive medically accurate, unbiased information regarding their reproductive-health options.
Pizza and refreshments will be served!
Don't forget- we're phoning both Tuesday AND Wednesday

Men and Feminism w/author Shira Tarrant
-
07:00 PM
to 09:00 PM
Wooden Shoe Books, 704 South Street, Philadelphia, PA
There's no denying that men's involvement and interest in feminism is key to its continuing relevance and importance. Addressing the question of why men should care about feminism in the first place, Men and Feminism lays the foundation for a larger discussion about feminism as a human issue, not simply a women's issue. Men are crucial to the movement — as fathers, brothers, husbands, boyfriends, and friends. From "why" to "how" to "what can men do", Men and Feminism answers all the questions men have about how and why they should get behind feminism.
