Linda Teliha
Outreach coordinator
Linda manages her time between the “front line” and speaking to groups and in classrooms and at conferences. She is also frequently featured on Right to Life Radio with our director John Gerardi reporting on Tales of the Sidewalk which are encounters she and Monica have while advocating life in front of Planned Parenthood.
She is passionate about making sure those around her know that she cares about the pro-life movement AND about everyone involved in it including the girls and women she gets a chance to converse with and counsel. She shares her personal story to provide validity and hope.

Monica King
Sidewalk Counselor
Monica spends her time in the trenches outside Planned Parenthood. She is able to reach a diverse population because of her dynamic personality and her ability to communicate both in English and Spanish. She shares her spirit, her heart, and her personal story. She is unique in her ability to fit anywhere with anyone and make everyone feel comfortable. She offers help and education and counsels when the chance arises. She is diligent about making our building next to Planned Parenthood a comfortable place for volunteers, employees and for those she and Linda have a chance to meet with.
