Greetings,

Thank you so much for participating in our first ever Virtual Lobby Day!

The day was a huge success!  Planned Parenthood staff members and volunteers delivered nearly 3,000 post cards from supporters and talked with legislators about the importance of making women’s health and family planning services a priority in Michigan.  Over 700 people like YOU from all over the state sent e-mails and made phone calls to legislators to drive the message home!

Legislators learned that there is broad support across the state for a package of bills to protect women’s health, reduce unintended pregnancies, reduce abortion and help prevent sexually transmitted diseases, all while saving already scarce public health dollars!

Now, we need your friends, family, classmates and co-workers to take action!

If you get 5 of your friends to take action on this page (by using the tell-a-friend link in the column to the right or forwarding this message) you will receive our newest t-shirt.  Click here to view the design. 

You can also earn a t-shirt by contributing a minimum of $10!

Our Virtual Lobby Day website is chock full of fun pictures and videos form yesterday.  Join us here to  view photo and video petitions and upload your own! 

Thanks again for your support!  Together we will ensure that all people in Michigan have access to the reproductive health information and services they need and deserve!

Subject: Support Prevention First!

Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],

I urge you to support the Prevention First package of bills (HB 5155 - HB 5165). The need to ensure and expand access to reproductive health information and services is very important to me. At a time when the Legislature has passed a Department of Community Health budget that decimates the family planning program, prevention efforts have never been more important. These prevention bills were recently voted out of the House Judiciary Committee and are expected to move to the House floor for debate later this fall. This package of legislation will protect women's health, reduce unintended pregnancies and help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Thank you for your commitment to supporting healthy families through common sense prevention measures.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
