PARKING IS NOT AVAILABLE ON FUSELER RD,.
Praying at the abortion facility:
There is a yellow line on each of the 2 driveways of the facility. Please do not cross the yellow line or you will be trespassing.
Please also do not obstruct anyone's passage on the street or in the driveways. And be careful! Stay to the side of the driveway as cars often whip in and out of there quickly. Make sure that any signs you carry do not obstruct the view of anyone leaving the parking lot, and do not leave chairs or signs unattended in front of the building.
We are prayer participants, not protestors. However, thre are protestors out there primarily on Friday and Saturday mornings. They are there to disrupt you and your purpose which is to pray. Do not engage with the protestors. Always obey public, civil authorities.
Remember PRAYING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT and POWERFUL THING YOU CAN DO TO SAVE LIVES. You plant the seed. Let God do the heavy lifting.
Charleston Police Department: Note 1: A new ordinance concerning public gatherings has been issued by the City of Charleston. Note 2: The police have designated 3 areas where prayer participants or protestors can stand.
Area One is on the grass in front of the PP fence.
Area Two is on the grass by the fire hydrant.
Area Three is on the corner of Fuseler Ave. going toward Ashley River Rd. Note 3: Generally, we only have a permit for events where we expect 25 or more folks.
When we HAVE a permit we will stand at Areas One and Three. If we DON'T have a permit, where we stand depends upon who gets there first. Whomever gets there first has the choice. If the protestors get there first and are occupying Area One then we would stand at Area Three.
This makes our circumstance fluid. Please return to this page often for updates.
