Here's a sample script for your call:
Hi, my name is __________, and I live in ___________.
I’m calling to let Senator (NAME) know that I need them to stop all attempts to block patients’ access to Planned Parenthood health centers.
This is important to me because __________ (If possible, tell your own story about how this impacts you and why this matters to you).
“Defunding” Planned Parenthood would block patients from the affordable sexual and reproductive health care that Planned Parenthood health centers provide and put 1.1 million patients at risk of losing access to health care. It's a chaotic, cruel, and dangerous attack on your constituents.
These threats to our care would hurt people with low incomes who need services like cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, birth control, and more.
I fight for Planned Parenthood and expect your boss to do the same. Congress must defend our ability to get health care and stop efforts to “defund” Planned Parenthood.
(Optional: share your full name, zip code, phone number.)
Thank you for your time.
