Black Organizing Program (BOP)
BOP supports and uplifts the political and social power of Black communities through advocacy and organizing, education, and resource distribution to build an equitable, sustainable and inclusive movement that centers those who are most impacted, protects, and expands avenues for access to care, and attains reproductive freedom for all.
If you're interested in getting involved with the BOP program, please contact Loriel Sanchez at [email protected].
Planned Parenthood Generation Action (PPGen)
PPGen chapters organize events on local campuses and in New York communities to mobilize advocates for sexual and reproductive freedom and justice. With 13 campus groups across our affiliate, PPGen is a network of student activists who are harnessing the power, energy, and enthusiasm of young people to fight for reproductive freedom and for fundamental justice for all.
Health Center Escorts (HCE)
Our escorts work to ensure a safer entry and exit of our health centers for our patients without fear of organized protest, disruption or torment. Our program runs in the following health centers: NYC, Nassau County, Poughkeepsie, and Newburgh.
If you're interested in volunteering in NYC or Nassau County, please contact Ace Sutherland at [email protected]. If you're interested in volunteering in Poughkeepsie or Newburgh, please contact Jessica Vollaro at [email protected].
