Canadian Communications Company Initiates
National Pro-Choice Action

clarification.ca - Ask Me About My AbortionIn response to a recent national initiative to eliminate reproductive choice in Canada, Lefty Lucy Communications has launched a national web-based project called Clarification.ca. The goal of the project is to collect stories from women across the country that have exercised their right to choose, and have no regrets about having done so.

"This is why I started a public relations company in the first place," said company founder Audra Williams. "There are so many voices that aren't finding their way into the mainstream. We're working to dispel shame from women who have had a perfectly legal procedure."

The project is a partnership with the Pro-Choice Action Network, which is based out of Vancouver. The Pro-Choice Action Network will be collecting the affidavits submitted through the site, and has been working with Lefty Lucy Communications to promote the site.

"I love collaboration," Williams stated from her Halifax office. "It's great that we're on opposite sides of the country, working together on this. It was also imperative that the site be bilingual."

Since Clarification.ca launched a few weeks ago, it has had over 750 visits. Audience members are asked not only to tell their stories, but also to help spread the word through a series of printable posters and stickers that can be downloaded from the site. The site also features an amusing series of letters from pro-life readers.

Lefty Lucy Communications is a successful company that works exclusively in the fields of advocacy, arts, and indie-business.
