Planned Parenthood of Louisiana & the Mississippi Delta

 Peter J. Durkin
 President and CEO of
 Planned Parenthood of
 Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta

On October 14th, PPLAMD celebrated its 25 anniversary in New Orleans at our annual gala, Safe Sex in the Big Easy.  Many thanks to our generous hosts, donors, and supporters for making this year's event a huge success!  Thanks also to the stylish Brian Reyes for joining us in New Orleans.  You can take a peak at the Times Picayune's coverage of Brian's celebrity appearance at our event and Mimi's Trunk Show featuring his Spring 2010 collection.

Please keep a look out for Planned Parenthood at this year's Voodoo Experience and New Orleans Book Fair.  Our volunteers will be raising awareness about our health services and advocacy programs this weekend and next!

While the days are flying by, it's still October.  Please take a moment to encourage a woman in your life to screen for breast cancer.  Early intervention saves lives!

 

TELL THE SENATE TO PROTECT WOMEN'S HEALTH CARE!

Here's the situation we face: right now, senators are hearing a lot more often from opponents of women's health than they are from people like you and me.

Please call today!

 I AM EMILY X:
the true-life stories of frontline Planned Parenthood workers and volunteers

The "I Am Emily X" blog tells the true-life stories of Planned Parenthood workers and volunteers as they encounter protestors and interact with clients during the 40 Days of Harassment. You will be outraged and inspired. You can help by pledging a few cents for every protester Emily X encounters. You can even see a running tally of protesters each day on this blog.

Talking to children about sexuality is very important, however it’s not always easy. We encourage you to have an open, honest relationship with your children. Visit our Tools for Parents page for resources designed to help you get the conversation started with your children about sexuality.
