Check this out! We won an award to recognize our hard work!

Each year NARAL Pro-Choice Connecticut hosts an Annual Fall Auction & Gala—this year on Friday, October 1st in Hartford at the Bushnell. At the Gala we present Catherine Roraback Awards to individuals or organizations that have demonstrated leadership, courage and activism in the struggle to protect privacy rights, the legal right to obtain an abortion and access to reproductive health for all women. We would like to present the Wesleyan Clinic Escort Group with the Catherine Roraback Award for your long term volunteer commitment to the work of choice.We would be honored to have your group attend our event to receive the award. Thank you for the work you do to protect women’s access to reproductive healthcare in Connecticut and congratulations on being awarded the 2010 Catherine Roraback Award.

What We Do:

In a group of five (four escorts and one captain), we go to Summit Women’s Center in Bridgeport, CT where they perform abortions every Tuesday and Friday morning. We are a positive, supportive presence. Our job is to escort the women who would like to be escorted past the antis who are present and to the clinic door. There is a strong anti force in Bridgeport. We are not there to engage with the protesters, we are there for the women. We act as a barrier between their harassment and the women who wish to enter the clinic. We are not affiliated with the clinic, but our presence is both respected and appreciated.
