Let's Make the Difference together

About Me

Action Southeast was started to help bring the SE together. The need for the SE to work with each other is long over due. Together we are louder, bolder, and more powerful. ACTION SE supports and connects by raising funding, awareness and support for organizations on their various platforms.
We started with the help of Action NW, and we are working as a team to bring ordinary people, nonprofit originations, bands, and everything that falls in the middle together. We will be the mold of connecting the people to the organizations, so we can all do our part where we feel comfortable to make our country a better place to live. Join the movement for change.
Help the Southeast unite with Action NW ! or add them as a friend on My Space Action NW
We are looking for steering committee members to run the ACTION Chapters in Orlando, Atlanta, Tampa, parts of Alabama and Mississippi. Contact us to be a part of a rapidly growing movement for change.Stay Informed. Get Involved. Take ACTION!

PRO CHOICE REVOLUTION IN THE SOUTH!

Remember the march for women's lives? IMAGINE A WEEK OF PURE CLINIC DEFENSE & FEMINIST/QUEER REVOLUTION IN THE SOUTH! We are the future of the SOUTH!

Hello Friends and Allies,

Operation Save America (formerly Operation Rescue) has put out a call for a siege on the last abortion-providing clinic in Jackson, Mississippi this summer. ( Click Here for more information on their plans.)

Their message is being spread far and wide and we are planning a massive clinic defense demonstration to keep the clinic open. July 15-22, 2006 is the proposed siege week.

In order to sustain a weeks worth of clinic defense, we are in need of a variety of support and people to participate in the counter-action. Currently, members of abortion funds across the south are planning for a caravan to Jackson and we need your help! If you are interested in participating in the caravan or would like to become a fiscal sponsor, please contact us as soon as possible!

Also, we are in desperate need of items like water bottles and food for the persons who will be convening in Jackson as well as housing opportunities for the activists. We are also raising money to raise awareness with buttons, stickers, t-shirts, and other items. Any letters to the editor that you send regarding this event would be helpful or any other publicity for that matter. We are hoping for a big turn out to let the rest of the south know that we are in this together.

For more information or to find out how to donate contact the Southern Abortion Fund at southernabfund [at] nnaf.org or the Jackson area NOW chapter at jxnms_now [at] yahoo.com.

We look forward to hearing from you!
