A note about protesters: During the week, there will be approximately 4-6 protesters walking back and forth outside of our entrance and around our parking lot. There are about 10-20 protesters on Saturdays. Protesters arrive around 7:45am and leave between 9:00am and 11:00am. PROTESTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER OUR PARKING LOT OR OUR BUILDING.

Look for AWC Escorts or the AWC Security guard who will be stationed in the parking lot or at the main entrance. Escorts wear bright yellow safety vests with "AWC Escort" written on them. Escorts will walk with you to the door.

Protesters at AWC are not violent, although some do shout and carry graphic signs. Protesters can be harassing and intimidating. Some protesters may try to force you to take literature, so it is best to walk with escorts around you. Since AWC provides may services, keep in mind that the protesters will not know why you are entering our building--your confidentiality is assured.
