  • Planned Parenthood patients and providers took their message directly to lawmakers on Capitol Hill

  • U.S. House expected to introduce a health care bill as early as this week that would include provisions to shut down Planned Parenthood health centers

  • PP supporters pinked out Congressional town halls across the country during Resistance Recess last week

 

If You Do One Thing Today

If you didn’t get to share your story on March, 1, don’t worry! There’s still time. If you do one thing today, share your Planned Parenthood story and show everyone just what we're fighting for in the weeks and months to come.

 

More Time? Do This!

We needed our supporters to go all out last week — and they all delivered. From rallies to town halls, reproductive rights advocates made Resistance Recess one of the biggest moments in our fight so far. Check out the incredible photos, videos and stories from across the country, and share your own using the hashtag #IStandWithPP.
