On June 30, we hosted the first session of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Nebraska’s 2020 Summer Policy Series. Whether or not you were able to join us, you can take action today to stand with our partners and support our communities that are fighting to survive multiple public health crises. 

These opportunities for action and education are from the incredible panelists who generously shared their time and expertise. Thank you to Isabel Salas of South of Downtown, Eric Reiter of OutNebraska, Rose Godinez of ACLU of Nebraska, and Katherine MacHolmes of Inclusive Communities for sharing the important work you and your organizations are doing to create justice and equity for all Nebraskans. Planned Parenthood Advocates of Nebraska is proud to partner with you in this fight.

  • Ensure that meatpacking plants follow the Meatpackers Bill of Rights and CDC and UNMC recommendations.

  • Check out the Black Trans Lives Matter March and Rally organized by Black and Pink, happening July 4.
  • Help with the Tenant Assistance Project in Lincoln, which is looking for volunteer lawyers to represent tenants who are being evicted, as well as community volunteers to greet people, ask if they would like legal representation, and connect them with mutual aid networks.
