About Us
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona (PPAA) is Planned Parenthood’s advocacy arm in Arizona and the state’s largest nonpartisan advocacy organization dedicated to protecting access to sexual and reproductive health care. PPAA fights for every person’s freedom and right to make reproductive choices, enjoy sexual health and wellbeing, and build healthy, strong families by educating voters, public officials, and candidates for public office.
PPAA is a 501 (c)(4) organization, which is a nonprofit organization that can engage in electoral and political activities. Donations to a 501 (c)(4) organizations are not tax-deductible.
Legislative and Grassroots Advocacy:
Each year, Arizonans face an unprecedented number of legislative bills aimed at reducing their autonomy, access to healthcare, and overall freedom. The efforts of PPAA ensure that all Arizonans and their families have a voice in defending those rights. We are at the state capitol working to advance public policies that support reproductive healthcare, rights, and freedom; while also defeating restrictive reproductive health care legislation that reduces or takes away an individual’s ability to make private medical decisions with their medical provider.
Our grassroots efforts are focused on helping all Arizonans gain fair and equal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare, rights, and education. PPAA educates and engages our grassroots network of advocates, voters, candidates, and elected officials across the state on a variety of issues related to sexual and reproductive healthcare, rights, and justice.
Civic & Electoral Engagement:
We support government officials and candidates who share our belief that access to the full spectrum of sexual and reproductive healthcare and information is critical to the well-being of all citizens; and support sexual and reproductive health care access and rights for all. PPAA works within the electoral process to support candidates and educate voters about sexual and reproductive healthcare issues on the ballot and candidates who support a person’s access to health care.
