Black Organizing Program (BOP)
BOP supports and uplifts the political and social power of Black communities through advocacy and organizing, education, and resource distribution to build an equitable, sustainable and inclusive movement that centers those who are most impacted, protects, and expands avenues for access to care, and attains reproductive freedom for all.

Planned Parenthood Generation Action (PPGen)
PPGen chapters organize events on local campuses and in New York communities to mobilize advocates for sexual and reproductive freedom and justice. With 13 campus groups across our affiliate, PPGen is a network of student activists who are harnessing the power, energy, and enthusiasm of young people to fight for reproductive freedom and for fundamental justice for all.
