Equipped only with a few signs, a deep appreciation for the bizarre, and plenty of Grrl Power zeal, a gallant group of local ladies staged a rally at the Planned Parenthood on Valencia yesterday to counter the anti-choice protesters who have recently been more aggressive there.
The professionally fashionable Neighbor Dema shared this dispatch from the sidewalk:
Our goal was to defuse an ugly situation with humor. I think some people were quite confused, especially by the “Unicorns Are Real” poster, but we had a very positive response. One guy instantly donated $100 to Planned Parenthood on his phone, one woman brought us muffins, and the kind folks at Terra Mia gave us free coffee! We also got several people to become members of PP. Success!
Unicorns Forever!
Well played, local ladies. Well played. You make us proud. Also: Unicorns forever!

Way to go! You go girl!
My heroes!
AWESOME!!! thank you! what a great way to counter the vile negativity of the PP protesters. would also love to help out next time, let us know!
I’d also love to join in if they do this again. Please let us know how!
Great approach to dangerous stupidity! Perhaps we can shame the gun shop in the hood away too.
Very cool, ladies!
I too would love to join you and cause some humorous chaos to counter the awful ugliness of the protesters.
thanks everyone! for the record, we had some masculine energy with us as well in the form of neighbors Todd and Mike!
Thanks and let us know before hand so we can join you!
feel free to organize your own counter-protest! Just ask your friends, set a time, make some kooky signs (at least one should involve unicorns!) and do it!!!!!
They’ve reinvented the Cacophony Society. Sheesh….
Would love to join next time around!
wonderful! Love the peaceful , fun counter protest, that gets support for Planned Parenthood too!
love!
This was probably noted on the original thread, but I still love the Weird Hobby sign:
