Generation Action
Be a voice for reproductive freedom on your campus and in your community.
Planned Parenthood Generation Action is a network of young organizers and activists across Connecticut and Rhode Island who take action on their college campuses and in their communities to advocate for reproductive rights.
The purpose of the Planned Parenthood Generation Action program is to build a robust network of young leaders that are trained to mobilize advocates for reproductive freedom, raise public awareness about reproductive health, rights, and justice, educate peers and young people about sexual health, and create lasting change in their communities.
Furthermore, this network acknowledges and supports the dynamic perspectives and intersectional framework that young people are using to connect reproductive health to other issues like civil rights, immigration, and environmental justice.
Young leaders are turning out and turning up in the fight for reproductive rights and access. Planned Parenthood Votes! Connecticut and Rhode Island are committed to amplifying the voices of the next generation in the reproductive freedom movement
