Planned Parenthood Display

Step 1

Contact your Regional Coordinator.

1. If you'd like to use the "We Don't Need Planned Parenthood" tabletop display, request the display and the accompanying materials for a specific date and time.
2. Arrange a time for your group members who will be participating in the display to complete a training about the content with your Regional Coordinator; this is mandatory.

Step 2

Reserve a table on campus for the display.

1. Contact your administration and follow their steps for reserving a space and a table. 
2. A high-traffic area is best, whether that is inside or outside. For college groups, try to do the display multiple days with different class schedules to reach more students. We recommend the time slot of 9am-2pm.

Step 3

Pack your materials.

1. Your Regional Coordinator will bring the display and cards, but you need recruiting tools to gather the contact information of interested pro-life students. Consider using either a clipboard or a laptop/iPad.
2. “Join Us” topic cards are helpful for recruitment, especially if you personalize them with your club’s info on the back.

Step 4

Organize workers for the display.

1. Ask group members to sign-up in shifts to host the display. Assign at least two members to be present at all times. 
2. An easy way to keep your list of volunteers organized is a Google doc or similar. Email it or post it on your group’s private Facebook page.

Step 5

Host the display!

1. Pass-out as many of the Planned Parenthood topic cards as you can and use them to start conversations. Have a good attitude and encourage people to share their opinion on the display content.
2. If someone is upset and angry, stay calm. Remember, you don’t know their story. They may have been hurt by abortion in their past. You should always strive to be a good ambassador for your group, Students for Life of America, and the pro-life movement. Be loving, be kind, be truthful and your display will touch many people.

Other Planned Parenthood Displays

1. While SFLA displays are fantastic, ready-to-go tools for a great outreach event, they aren’t your only option for doing a display about Planned Parenthood.
2. Host a poll table specifically about defunding Planned Parenthood. Put-up a “Yes” board and a “No” board and have conversations about it.
   • “We Don’t Need PP” topic cards are a helpful resource. 
3. Do a pink Cemetery of the Innocents display, memorializing the victims of Planned Parenthood.
   • Display of one hour (about 38 babies)
   • Display of one day (about 911 babies) 
4. Address the 3% myth.
   • Check out this SFLA video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKIOBOFaVYs) and Live Action’s video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtgqxvaV-8U) about this myth.
   • Set-up a table with these videos queued up on laptops or iPads and ask people to watch. Perhaps even reward a viewing with candy/cookie/donut, etc.
   • This type of event has a lot of different variations; SFLA and Live Action’s YouTube channels have tons of informative videos about Planned Parenthood that you can use in this way.
5.  If you have a different idea about a Planned Parenthood display, run it by your Regional Coordinator! He/she would love to hear about it, and maybe even help your group carry it out.
