OPINION OF THE COURT
ROTH, Circuit Judge:
This is an action brought for declaratory and
injunctive relief to stop blockades of abortion clinics. Aspects
of this dispute have been before the courts for almost seven
years. In the latest episode, the District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania denied appellants' motion to hold
Operation Rescue, Randall A. Terry, Robert Lewis, and Joseph
Roach in contempt for violating a Revised Permanent Injunction,
issued on July 17, 1989. Plaintiffs, National Abortion Rights
Action League of Pennsylvania ("NARAL-PA"), Planned Parenthood Of
Southeastern Pennsylvania, Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center for
Women, Reproductive Health and Counseling Center, Women's
Suburban Clinic, Allentown Women's Center, and Northeast Women's
Center appeal that order. Because we find that the district
court applied an incorrect legal standard in deciding the
question of civil contempt, we will reverse the denial of the
motion, and we will remand the case to the district court with
instructions to grant the motion.
I.
The underlying action was originally brought on June
29, 1988, by eleven plaintiffs, consisting of NARAL-PA, seven
abortion and family planning clinics, two pregnant women, and a
physician who regularly performed abortions. It was brought in
response to Operation Rescue's "publicly announced plans to close
down clinics that offer abortions in the Philadelphia area by
staging massive demonstrations and blockades at . . . [those]
facilities." Roe v. Operation Rescue, 919 F.2d 857, 861 (3d Cir.
1990) ("Roe IV"). The plaintiffs sought declaratory and
injunctive relief against these proposed activities. Operation
Rescue and Randall Terry were among the named defendants.
After a hearing on June 30, 1988, the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania issued a
temporary restraining order ("TRO") "enjoining the defendants and
others acting in concert with them from trespassing on, blocking
entrances at, or physically abusing or harassing persons working
or obtaining services at abortion facilities in the metropolitan
Philadelphia area from July 4," 1988, to July 9, 1988. Roe IV at
862.
In March 1989, the district court permanently enjoined
the defendants from "trespassing on, blocking, obstructing
ingress or egress from any facility at which abortions are
performed in the City of Philadelphia or metropolitan area" and
from "physically abusing or tortiously harassing persons
entering, leaving, working at, or using any services at any
facility at which abortions are performed in the City of
Philadelphia and metropolitan area." Roe v. Operation Rescue,
710 F. Supp. 577, 589 (E.D. Pa. 1989) ("Roe II"), aff'd in part
and rev'd in part in Roe IV. Subsequently, on plaintiffs' motion
to modify the permanent injunction to provide for the United
States Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to read
the injunction at protest sites, the district court granted the
Revised Permanent Injunction at issue here. Roe v. Operation
Rescue, No. 88-5157 (E.D. Pa. July 17, 1989) ("Roe III").
The present appeal arose out of the third civil
contempt motion to be filed in this on-going case. On September
7, 1993, plaintiffs sought civil contempt sanctions against
Operation Rescue, Randall Terry, and non-party respondents Joseph
Roach, Robert Lewis, and Owenna Nagy for alleged violations on
July 9, 1993, of the district court's Revised Permanent
Injunction. On December 1, 1993, the district court conducted a
hearing on the motion.
At the hearing, the plaintiffs presented evidence that
during the summer of 1993 Operation Rescue National organized,
publicized, and raised money for a nationwide campaign to protest
abortion rights in seven cities, designated "Cities of Refuge."1
The campaign was to take place from July 8 through 18, 1993.
Philadelphia was named as one of the "Cities of Refuge."
Evidence established that Operation Rescue National, Randall
Terry, and the Executive Director of Operation Rescue National,
Keith Tucci, advertised and promoted the campaign in anti-
abortion magazines.
The plaintiffs introduced into evidence a letter sent
out over Randall Terry's name on stationery identifying Terry as
"Founder, Operation Rescue." Terry acknowledged writing the
letter. The letter asked supporters to contribute money and to
participate personally "to help Operation Rescue National put on
the Cities of Refuge." Appendix ("App.") at 183, 262-63.
1 As discussed below, we hold that the two groups,
Operation Rescue and Operation Rescue National, are
interchangeable.
The plaintiffs also submitted promotional literature,
describing the Cities of Refuge campaign. These materials listed
planned activities, including "rescues," which have been
characterized in defendants' literature as "passive, non-violent
direct action." See, e.g., App. at 265. Promotional fliers also
listed local speakers who would address the participants in the
Cities of Refuge Campaign at the Valley Forge Hilton on seven
evenings during the campaign. Randall Terry, Keith Tucci, and
Robert Lewis were among those listed as speakers. Terry's speech
was scheduled for July 9. App. at 258-59, 261.
Testimony at the December 1 hearing established that
from July 9th through the 18th several blockades and numerous
anti-abortion demonstrations and protests occurred in the
Philadelphia area. On the morning of July 9th, over 100 anti-
abortion protestors assembled on the grounds of the Crozer-
Chester Medical Center, in front of the Reproductive Health and
Counseling Center ("RHCC"). The demonstrators, many of whom wore
"Operation Rescue"/"Cities of Refuge" badges and "Rescue" arm
bands, effectively blocked the clinic's three doors from
approximately 10:30 a.m. until 3:30-3:45 p.m.
Witnesses testified that appellees Joseph Roach and
Robert Lewis directed the protesters, moving those needing rest
into the shade and interacting with the police. There was,
however, no evidence that Roach or Lewis physically blocked a
door. At about 12:45 p.m., a United States Marshal read the
Revised Permanent Injunction over a bull horn to the protestors.
Witnesses stated that Roach and Lewis, who conceded that they had
actual knowledge of the injunction at the time of the blockade,
did nothing to disperse the blockade after the injunction was
read.
An individual who attended the Cities of Refuge events
at the Valley Forge Hilton on July 14, 1993, testified that
appellee Lewis acted as Master of Ceremonies and introduced Keith
Tucci as the Operation Rescue National leader. Tucci in turn
thanked individuals including "Bob" and "Joe," presumably
referring to Robert Lewis and Joseph Roach, for their local
leadership. The witness testified that Roach and Lewis wore red
arm bands, designating their marshal status, and that at the
close of the evening they directed the group where "to meet for
tomorrow's events."
After the hearing, the district court denied
plaintiffs' motion. Finding that Roach and Lewis had actual
knowledge of the court's order and "were present and active at
certain events occurring from July 8, 1993, through July 18,
1993," the district court nonetheless held that the plaintiffs
failed to establish that either Roach or Lewis violated the
Revised Permanent Injunction. Roe v. Operation Rescue, No. 88-
5157, slip op. at 1 (E.D. Pa. Dec. 10, 1993) ("Roe V"). The
court concluded that "Roach and Lewis wore red arm bands, but it
was not established by clear and convincing evidence that the
bands were associated with one particular group, namely Operation
Rescue." Id. In addition, the district judge erroneously
referred to Terry's speech at the Valley Forge Hilton on the
evening of July 9th as being on a "date prior to the 'Cities of
Refuge' campaign." He then found that the plaintiffs had failed
to establish that Terry's activities violated the Revised
Permanent Injunction. Id. at 2.
Appellants filed this appeal of the denial of their
contempt motion, designating Operation Rescue, Terry, Lewis, and
Roach as appellees.
II.
Our review of the denial of a contempt motion is for
abuse of discretion by the district court. Reversal is
appropriate "only where the denial is based on an error of law or
a finding of fact that is clearly erroneous." Harley-Davidson,
Inc. v. Morris, 19 F.3d 142, 145 (3d Cir. 1994); see also Martin
v. International Matex Tank Terminals-Bayonne, 928 F.2d 614, 626
(3d Cir. 1991); Littlejohn v. Bic Corp., 851 F.2d 673, 683 (3d
Cir. 1988).
III.
We conclude that the district court erred as a matter
of law by ignoring the vast documentary evidence and undisputed
testimony demonstrating that Operation Rescue, Randall Terry,
Robert Lewis, and Joseph Roach acted in concert to violate the
Revised Permanent Injunction by orchestrating the July 9th
blockade of the RHCC.
A. Operation Rescue
A plaintiff must prove three elements by clear and
convincing evidence to establish that a party is liable for civil
contempt: "(1) that a valid order of the court existed; (2) that
the defendants had knowledge of the order; and (3) that the
defendants disobeyed the order." Roe II at 657. Although the
district court made no specific findings regarding Operation
Rescue's role in the July 9th RHCC blockade, the court's
conclusion that "it was not established by clear and convincing
evidence that the red arm bands [that Roach and Lewis had worn]
were associated with Terry or Operation Rescue," Roe V at 2,
suggests that the court implicitly concluded that Operation
Rescue had no involvement in the July 9th blockade and therefore
did not disobey the order.
We conclude that the trial court abused its discretion
by holding that evidence demonstrating an association between the
red arm bands and Operation Rescue was necessary to establish
Operation Rescue's involvement in the RHCC blockade. Such a test
has no basis in the language of the Revised Permanent Injunction.
By focusing on the arm bands, the court appears to have ignored
the vast documentary evidence that plaintiffs presented at the
hearing, linking Operation Rescue to the blockade.
Included in the documentary evidence establishing the
connection between Operation Rescue, Operation Rescue National,
and the RHCC campaign are the literature, fundraising letters,
and organizing materials put out by Operation Rescue, Operation
Rescue National, Randall Terry, and Keith Tucci to promote the
Cities of Refuge Campaign. These include the materials
publicizing and raising funds for the Cities of Refuge campaign,
some of which urged "non-violent direct action" in the
Philadelphia area during the period from July 8-17, 1993. App.
at 258, 260-61, 262-74. On April 4, 1993, Keith Tucci, in his
capacity as Executive Director of Operation Rescue National, sent
out a letter on Operation Rescue letterhead to promote the Cities
of Refuge "life-saving activities" and to solicit funds for these
events. App. at 267-68. Operation Rescue and Operation Rescue
National materials published after the Cities of Refuge campaign
claimed credit for its success. App. at 275-84. A publication,
entitled "The Rescuer," expressly identified the July 9th
blockade of RHCC as part of the Cities of Refuge Campaign. App.
at 285-88.
We find the Appellees' argument that Operation Rescue
National is a separate and distinct organization from Operation
Rescue to be disingenuous.2 Indeed, the record supports the
2
At least two other federal courts have found Operation
Rescue National and Operation Rescue to be the same organization.
See NOW v. Operation Rescue, 816 F. Supp. 729, 733 (D.D.C. 1993);
Women's Health Care Servs., P.A. v. Operation Rescue-National,
1991 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 14521, *1-4 (D. Kan. Aug. 27, 1991);
conclusion that there is a similarity of membership and an
interchangeable use of names between the two groups. Even if the
record does not establish that Operation Rescue and Operation
Rescue National are identical, it indicates that Operation Rescue
National and Operation Rescue acted in concert to conduct the
Cities of Refuge Campaign.
The Appellees often failed to distinguish between
Operation Rescue National and Operation Rescue in their own
promotional literature. For example, when Randall Terry sent out
a letter soliciting support for the Cities of Refuge Campaign on
stationary identifying him as "Founder, Operation Rescue," he
sought donations for "Operation Rescue National" but stated:
"The child-killers fear Operation Rescue more than any other pro-
life group. Your gifts help Operation Rescue National keep the
abortion industry on the run." App. at 262-63 (emphasis added).
Similarly, Keith Tucci sent his April 4 Cities of Refuge
fundraising letter on Operation Rescue stationery, referred to
Operation Rescue in the body of the letter, but signed it as
Executive Director of Operation Rescue National. App. at 267-68.
Testimony at the hearing also linked Operation Rescue
National to Operation Rescue and to the July 9th RHCC blockade.3
Many of the blockaders at RHCC wore "Cities of Refuge" badges and
"Rescue" arm bands. App. at 38, 116. An attendee at the Valley
3
See App. at 71 (testimony that a check written and
mailed to Operation Rescue was cashed and endorsed by "ORN,"
presumably Operation Rescue National).
Forge Hilton rally testified that those present wore similar
emblems, as well as t-shirts and hats with the same "Cities of
Refuge" logo as that on the Operation Rescue/Cities of Refuge
promotional mailings. App. at 166-67.
In light of the overwhelming record evidence of
Operation Rescue involvement, we believe that the trial court
abused its discretion by basing its decision solely on its
finding that the red arm bands were not proven by clear and
convincing evidence to be associated with Operation Rescue and
thereby concluding that Operation Rescue was not implicated in
the July 9th blockade.
B. Randall Terry
Appellants argue that the district court committed
serious errors of law and fact in finding that Terry was not
involved in activities related to the July 9, 1993, RHCC blockade
in violation of the Revised Permanent Injunction. They contend
that the trial court abused its discretion by relying on the
erroneous legal conclusion that a contemnor must be physically
present at the scene to violate the injunction. We agree that
the trial court erred as a matter of law by ignoring undisputed
testimony that Terry solicited support for the Cities of Refuge
campaign and spoke at one of the Cities of Refuge events, thereby
acting in concert with Operation Rescue to orchestrate the July
9th blockade.4 See App. at 183-84 (Terry's testimony).
4
Appellants also assert that the court committed a
serious factual error in setting the date of Terry's speaking
The district court concluded that the plaintiffs failed
to establish that Terry violated the order:
Plaintiffs failed to establish that defendant Terry was
present or active in any of the events in question. . .
. Terry did speak at the Valley Forge Hilton Hotel at
a date prior to the "Cities of Refuge" campaign.
However, the Hotel is in excess of twenty miles from
the Reproductive Health and Counseling Center and the
speech concerned the political involvement of those in
the pro-life movement. Said activities were not in
violation of this court's Order.
Roe V at 2.
We have previously held that an instigator of
contemptuous conduct may not "absolve himself of contempt
liability by leaving the physical performance of the forbidden
conduct to others." Roe IV at 871. In upholding the district
court's finding that defendant Michael McMonagle violated the TRO
in a 1989 blockade, this court found that actual trespass was not
"a necessary precondition for holding McMonagle in civil
contempt" where he had instructed protestors during the blockade
and spoken with police officials at the scene. Id. When a party
appearance at "a date prior" to the Cities of Refuge campaign
when all the evidence, including Terry's own testimony, indicates
that the speech occurred during the campaign, in the evening of
the same day as the RHCC blockade. Appellees argue that the
error was harmless and that placing Terry's speech on a date
"prior to" the campaign actually supported appellants' argument.
A clearly erroneous factual finding may create appropriate
grounds for reversal of a trial court's decision in a contempt
proceeding. See Harley-Davidson v. Morris, 19 F.3d at 145;
Martin v. International Matex Tank Terminals, 928 F.2d at 626.
We do not find it necessary to reach this issue, however, because
we find sufficient other legal and factual grounds to support our
reversal.
to the Revised Permanent Injunction urges others to participate
in conduct violative of the Injunction, such encouragement may
itself suffice to support a finding of contempt.5
Although Terry was not physically present at the July
9th RHCC blockade, uncontroverted evidence establishes Terry's
involvement in at least two activities related to the blockade in
violation of the Revised Permanent Injunction. First, prior to
the blockade, Terry wrote the letter discussed above to encourage
financial support for and participation in the Cities of Refuge
campaign. The letter explicitly stated that "[w]ith God's help,"
rescues would occur as part of the "massive pro-life counter-
offensive." App. at 262. Terry's subsequent testimony indicates
his equation of "rescues" with "blockades."6 The letter urged:
5
See New York State NOW v. Terry, 732 F. Supp. 388, 405
(S.D.N.Y. 1990) (holding a local group affiliated with Operation
Rescue in contempt of injunctive orders that prohibited blocking
access to medical facilities that performed abortions where six
organizational leaders signed a letter urging the group's members
to participate in a "National Day of Rescue"), aff'd in part,
rev'd in part on other grounds, 961 F.2d 390 (2d Cir. 1992).
6
The testimony includes the following dialogue, in which
Roach questioned Terry:
A [Terry] When you say rescue, define that. Do you
mean blockade?
Q To blockade . . .
A Okay.
Q . . . doors.
See also Roe IV at 861 (3d Cir. 1990) (defining "rescue missions"
as anti-abortion "blockades and demonstrations").
With God's help, the Cities of refuge will have a
much larger impact than even Wichita [presumably
referring to blockades of clinics in Wichita, Kansas];
more children and mothers will be rescued, more pro-
lifers will be in the street, more abortionists will be
exposed and confronted, and more fresh troops will be
brought in to the battle.
App. at 262.
Terry's reference to Wichita, his use of the word
"rescue," and his battle imagery all suggest that he was
encouraging the activity that ultimately occurred at the RHCC.
By helping to organize, publicize, and raise money for the Cities
of Refuge campaign that, as discussed above, instigated the July
9th blockade of the RHCC, Terry acted in contempt of the Revised
Permanent Injunction.
Second, Terry was a featured speaker at a nationally-
publicized rally in the Philadelphia area on the night of the
blockade. His speech was advertised extensively in Cities of
Refuge promotional materials that promoted "rescue" activities in
the Philadelphia area. App. at 258-59, 261. Testimony revealed
that his presence was meant to attract people to the Philadelphia
area events, thus facilitating the July 9th blockade. See App.
at 258, 260-61.
Given these facts, the trial court's conclusion that
"[p]laintiffs failed to establish that defendant Terry was
present or active in any of the events in question" suggests that
the court relied on the erroneous legal conclusion that a
contemnor must participate on the scene in order to violate the
Revised Permanent Injunction. The court's emphasis on the
physical distance between Terry at the time he gave his speech
and the site of the blockade buttresses this conclusion. We
reverse the trial court's decision because it is based on a clear
error of law. See, e.g., Harley-Davidson, Inc. v. Morris, 19
F.3d at 145 (holding that questions of law in a contempt
proceeding are subject to plenary review).
C. Roach and Lewis
The district court refused to hold Roach and Lewis in
contempt on the grounds that the plaintiffs failed to prove that
the two men violated the Revised Permanent Injunction. In
particular, the court noted the plaintiffs' failure to establish
by clear and convincing evidence that the red arm bands that
Roach and Lewis wore "were associated with one particular group,
namely Operation Rescue." Roe V at 1. The trial court erred by
concluding that Roach and Lewis did not violate the Revised
Permanent Injunction even though appellants had shown by clear
and convincing evidence that Roach and Lewis acted in concert
with Operation Rescue and Terry to violate its terms.
Case law establishes, and the trial court acknowledged,
that individuals, who are neither parties to a proceeding nor
named in the court order at issue, may nonetheless be subject to
the court's contempt powers if they have "knowledge of a valid
court order and abet others in violating it." Roe IV at 857;
Quinter v. Volkswagen of America, 676 F.2d 969, 972 (3d Cir.
1982); Roe V at 1. Moreover, the Revised Permanent Injunction,
by its terms, prohibits non-parties with actual knowledge of the
Injunction from "acting in concert" with the named parties to
frustrate the injunction or avoid compliance with it. Id. at 2.
The district court found that Roach and Lewis had
knowledge of the Revised Permanent Injunction. Id. Roach and
Lewis have not challenged that finding. There is, moreover,
clear and convincing evidence in the record to show that Roach
and Lewis acted in concert with Operation Rescue and Randall
Terry to violate the Revised Permanent Injunction by organizing
the Cities of Refuge campaign in the Philadelphia area in general
and by leading the July 9th blockade of RHCC in particular.
Undisputed testimony established that Roach and Lewis attended
the RHCC blockade. While there, they wore red arm bands and
acted in a leadership capacity, whether or not they physically
blocked entrances to the building.7 Roach and Lewis admitted to
playing local leadership roles in the Cities of Refuge campaign.
App. at 299, 234-35. Undisputed testimony established that Lewis
acted as Master of Ceremonies on the July 14th rally at the
Valley Forge Hilton, where he presented Keith Tucci, director of
Operation Rescue National, who in turn recognized Lewis's "local
leadership." App. at 169-70. Moreover, Lewis's name appeared
7
As discussed above, a contemnor need not have actually
physically trespassed or blockaded a door to be held in contempt
of the Revised Permanent Injunction.
with Terry's on Cities of Refuge fliers and promotional
materials.
Appellee Roach received an award at the July 14th rally
for leadership and also received a commendation from Keith Tucci.
Roach testified, moreover, that it was he who invited Terry to
speak at the Valley Forge Hilton on the night of the blockade in
order to draw a crowd. App. at 234-35.
The trial court thus appears to have misread the
Revised Permanent Injunction's "acting in concert" clause by
failing to hold these two non-parties in contempt where
undisputed evidence established their coordinated activities with
Operation Rescue and Terry to organize and run the July 9th
blockade. The court erred by focusing exclusively on the
association between the arm bands and Operation Rescue or Terry.
IV.
For the reasons stated above, we will reverse the
judgment of the district court and remand this case to the
district court with instructions to enter an order granting
plaintiffs' motion to hold Operation Rescue, Randall Terry,
Robert Lewis, and Joseph Roach in civil contempt of the Permanent
Revised Injunction, issued July 17, 1989, and for further
proceedings consistent with this opinion.
