Helen Ukpabio will be preaching in Houston this march. She promotes supersticious beliefs in Africa. According to many news sources the promotion of supersticion has lead to human rights violations.
Here's another link:

Anyone have any information?
Any information on a planned protest?

She's scheduled to preach at a church in Houston on March 14th - 25th. Local Atheist groups are thinking about organizing a protest. Given that her behavior is linked to human rights violations I'm going to try to pass the information on to some Unitarians I know. Why should the atheists have all the fun.
But seriously, I'm not one to protest every thing I see but in this case it might do some good. Hellen O will no doubt raise lots of bucks here in the U.S. and, (what she doesn't spend on herself) will go to fund/encourage schnannagans in Africa. Furthermore Africans seem to respond well to embarrassment and shaming. Perhaps publicity and shame might discourage their horrible superstitious behavior.
On another note, I heard she tried to preach in the UK and was harassed everywhere she went. Anyone know about this?
