Check out our original press release responding to the arrest of 8 people (including 5 members of the Survivors Campus Life Tour team) yesterday at a college in Asheville, North Carolina.
Media response: The Asheville Citizen-Times wrote an interesting article accompanied by a photo of just male members of the Survivors team.
Coincidence? I think not.
Check out the AC-T article, and be sure to comment in the forum – there are some good conversations happening there.
Members of the CLT team will also be appearing on a local television show in Asheville this afternoon. If footage is available, we will post it!
Video of the arrests: check out the video of the Survivors getting arrested on the Asheville campus. It is amazing to watch the police officer and administrator completely refuse to answer the very simple question “is this private property?” They did not answer the question because they knew very well that free speech is protected on public college campuses.
Hey CLT team. Our prayers are with you! Persevere.

Hi,
Great job you guys did here in Asheville. As you know, I filmed the press release which turned out to be a one hour program which will be aired on public access tv, thats over 200,000 homes in two counties.
I also have put clips on You Tube, just type in “Sound Off Buncombe” or my name.
Today, we recieved over 10 calls in support of the protest.
I hope you guys will be back in Asheville, we Need You !!
Big Thanks
Again,
Richard Bernier

This is really sad and disappointing. I am also disappointed in the coverage that was in the Asheville Citizen-times – it was very slanted. But, I guess that’s how it always is…we are being persecuted for Justice’s Sake!
I am with you guys 101% Thank you so much for your strong stand! I am praying for you.

Survivors is a Christian, pro-life activism organization dedicated to educating and activating high school and college age individuals. If you were born after 1973, you are a Survivor. Over 45,000,000 of our generation have been killed since the decriminalization of abortion by Roe v. Wade… and thousands of innocent babies are scheduled to die tomorrow in America. The Survivors believe this generation is called to stand up, speak up, and be a powerful voice for the voiceless.
Resist apathy – join the Survivors.
