Time to Act: When Politics Trumps Women's Health We Must Respond

Thank you for your past interest in Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York.

Our hard and effective work to educate state legislators about critical issues effecting the health of women, teens and families has been rendered irrelevant as political maneuvering and legal challenges absorb the time and attention of our elected officials.

It has seldom been more clear how important it is to build a strong local Planned Parenthood Advocates of New York chapter to raise the funds and recruit the activists necessary to help elect pro-choice leaders of both parties, and to build the influence necessary to prevent our issues from being sidelined by political games. 

Please take action today. New York is a pro-choice state. Let's ensure that our elected officials truly reflect that reality. Please use the "Edit Letter" section below to pledge your support. Then, click on the "Send this Message" to the right to let us know that you will work with us in building a strong local chapter and a stronger statewide electoral organization.
