​Benefits from #BOAoutreach events at BOA branches:
1. Our central goal is to compel BOA nationwide to terminate financial support for Planned Parenthood. This result would deliver a modest financial setback and a huge public image blow to Planned Parenthood, Other corporate donors would be emboldened to follow suit.
2. Additionally, every #BOAoutreach protest sends a powerful message to the broader business community, revealing that supporting Planned Parenthood can become a public relations nightmare.
3. We are the media!  #BOAoutreach is an opportunity to educate the public. We distribute a flyers at each outreach. Education and conversation opportunities are plentiful at a downtown branch with a public sidewalk entrance.
4. #BOAoutreach is an encouragement to the pro-life silent majority revealing that they are by no means a minority in America. The response to “Honk Now” signs is substantial.
5. #BOAoutreach can trigger pro-life activation. #ProtestBOA can be an entry way for new pro-life foot soldiers. We have brought in new foot soldiers with #BOAoutreach.
6. #BOAoutreach can be a memorable family activity. Let your children, grandchildren and siblings catch you in the act of pro-life discipleship. A photo of your family at #BOAoutreach is a wonderful keepsake.

Considering all of the above, success in each #BOAoutreach event is 100% assured.

     The Bank of America Plaza is at the foot of the 60-story Bank of America Tower, which is the international headquarters of BOA. Bank of America is 2nd largest bank in the USA. Pro-Life Waco launched #BOAoutreach in September of 2015 because of BOA matching grant donations to the deplorable Planned Parenthood. Thanks to a generous donor, John Pisciotta--Director of Pro-Life Waco--flew out to Charlotte to collaborate with Flip Benham (Operation Save America) to protest virtually at the entry to Bank of America headquarters.  This public exposure of the alliance between BOA and PP, using signs, flyers and a PA system, was held from 10 AM to 4 PM each of these 3 days. There was discomfort in the comfortable digs of BOA headquarters.  See the flyer here.
     A half dozen pro-lifers from the Charlotte area joined John and Flip. Don't miss Flip's one-minute video clip in the left-hand column of this page. The response was overwhelmingly positive with expressions of appreciation for "being there," inquiries about BOA's support for PP, opportunities to share the Gospel, commitments to complain to BOA management, and an excited proclamation, "I just closed my checking account and told them why."

Bank of America is one of the 38 corporations listed by The Daily Signal (7-21-2015) as a donor to Planned Parenthood at the outset of the scandal over severing and selling fetal baby organs. Pro-Life Waco leads a campaign to convince national management of Bank of America to completely terminate its financial support for Planned Parenthood. Bank of America includes Planned Parenthood in its 100% match to employees donations. 

Everyone can participate:
1. Call national BOA and urge exclusion of Planned Parenthood from their matching grant program. (800) 218-9946 Call multiple times from different phone numbers. In their voice menu, choose 1 for matching grants program.
2. Visit with or call a local BOA branch manager or upper-level manager about their big Planned Parenthood problem. Do this whether you have an account at BOA or not.
3. Close one or more of your Bank of America accounts. During one #ProtestBOA outreach in Waco, a young lady came out of the branch with a big smile on her face and told us she had closed her accounts--and felt so good about it. We have also seen this in Austin
4. Here is the big one. Deliver a #ProtestBOA in your hometown. Pro-Life Waco will send you 3 large signs and guide you on  “how to” #ProtestBOA.
