Health Care Advocacy
Planned Parenthood is building Health Care Advocacy Rapid Response Teams across the country of committed supporters to help protect access to reproductive health care.
What would you have to do as a rapid response team member?
You probably know that President Obama and Congress are working on reforming our health care system. We need to make sure that essential health services like birth control, cancer screenings, immunizations, and STD testing and treatments are included in that reform.
We need supporters like you to help us advocate for these basic services by bringing this message to members of Congress and other policy makers. When women's health care services are at stake, we will call upon YOU to help us respond immediately by making a phone call to members of Congress.
As the health care reform process moves quickly along, this kind of immediate grassroots mobilization will make all the difference to ensure any health care reform plan includes reproductive health.

Subject: Health Care Advocacy
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
Planned Parenthood health centers are a critical entry point into the health care system for millions of Americans. More than ninety percent of Planned Parenthood patient visits are for primary preventive health care, including wellness exams, cancer screenings, contraception, and STD testing and treatment.
Over the next few months, as Congress is working on health care reform I am willing to contact members of Congress with a message that let's them know providers like Planned Parenthood, which serve as an entry point for care for millions of women, must be a part of the system.
Yes! Sign me up as a rapid responder and sign me up to receive action notices on legislative proposals as well as election and political information from NAPPA, the statewide lobbying and election arm of Planned Parenthood in Nevada.
