Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado List of Reproductive Rights, Health and Education Candidates

The election for important local candidates is right around the corner - on November 7^th Coloradans will be voting for school board members and in city races. Our elected officials at all levels impact our lives, including our access to reproductive health care and our youth’s access to comprehensive, real sex education.

This year, we sent a survey asking school board candidates to support age appropriate, fact-based sexual health education, access to reproductive health care services for young people, and protection for LGBTQ youth from bullying.

Protecting access to reproductive health care is also vital at our municipal level. City leaders make crucial decisions around where and how our communities can get the reproductive and sexual health care they need.
