What We Believe

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin deeply believes that all individuals should have the information and means to decide the number and spacing of their children, and that all women, men, and teens should have access to basic preventive health care. PPAWI engages in legislative and educational activity, and works to elect candidates who support these goals to state and federal offices. 

Legislative Advocacy

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin provides outreach to the public about issues relating to women’s health, and mobilizes individuals and communities to make their voices heard in the political process. Specifically, PPAWI focuses on mobilizing traditionally underrepresented communities like people of color, youth, and unmarried women.
