If You Do One Thing This Week
On March 23, the House is expected to vote on its dangerous plan to gut the ACA and “defund” Planned Parenthood health centers. This vote would have happened much sooner if health and reproductive rights advocates hadn’t flooded Congress with angry phone calls. So, let's flood them one last time before the vote.
Every member of Congress needs to know that their constituents are watching and remembering this vote. If you do one thing today, call your representative in the House and tell them where you stand on Thursday’s health care vote.

Blocking access to Planned Parenthood isn't only bad for women — it's bad for the economy.
Defender Of The Week
Our star defender of the week: Katie N. (26, NY) is a Planned Parenthood Defender, patient, and Medicaid enrollee. When given the opportunity to question Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price at a CNN Town Hall, she chose to ask him how patients like her — who depend on services at Planned Parenthood health centers — are supposed to get care if those health centers get “defunded” by Congress.
The question allowed host Dana Bash to debunk Sec. Price’s misleading response, and helped shine a light on just how critical Planned Parenthood health centers are in the communities they serve. We admire the bravery she showed by sharing her story and confronting Rep. Price, as well as her passion for fighting for access to health care. Thanks, Katie!
