"Crisis pregnancy centers are popping up all around the country in close proximity to abortion clinics. These centers are FAKE healthcare centers that lie to, shame, and intentionally mislead women about their reproductive health choices and block them from obtaining abortions. It is imperative that we educate ourselves about crisis pregnancy centers and discuss how our community can lead campaigns to expose these fake clinics.

Come join the Madison Abortion Defense for a screening of the 2010 documentary, "12th and Delaware", and then a short discussion following the film about crisis pregnancy centers and how they pose a threat to reproductive health in the United States and in Madison. 12th and Delaware is set on a street corner in Fort Pierce, Florida that is home to both an abortion clinic and a crisis pregnancy center, and the documentary follows the tension between the two centers."

What is the theme of this year’s Community Cypher? 

In the radical educational legacy of our ancestors, this years theme will examine policing and surveillance in relation to anti-blackness and other forms of oppression. This cypher is designed to shift approaches regarding how we understand, analyze, and address issues related to surveillance and policing in this current movement. One of the central objectives of the cypher is to grapple with more Black radical “interventions” and “solutions” to state and world sanctioned violence which includes police and prison abolition.
