Greetings,

Yesterday, some members of our Health and Human Services interim committee decided that instead of a reasonable debate on reproductive health education, they would directly attack Planned Parenthood. These members urged the entire Utah State Legislature to "not consider any person or organization that promotes, recommends, or teaches high-risk sexual behavior [through] websites, examples or talks in public schools."

This direct attack on Planned Parenthood has us more fired up than ever before. To quote The Dude, "This aggression will not stand, man."

So while some Utah legislators want to attack Planned Parenthood, our teens are taking action to shape the reproductive health education debate.   They are working with us to get the word out about the need for more information. Today, we ask you to help us sponsor a teen activist.  For just $10 you can help us equip a teen with the tools they need to contact 50 people in each of our targeted districts.  With your help we will be able to contact over 500 people throughout Utah to urge them to support changes to Utah's sex education curriculum.

To hear more about sponsoring a teen activist and to have a darn good time, join us tonight at our Cocktails for a Cause event.  We will be at Poplar Street Pub (21 yrs. and older) located at 242 South 200 West at 7:00 PM.

If you can't make it tonight, please donate your $10 here today to sponsor a teen activist.  Thank you for helping PPAC and our teens get out the message that Planned Parenthood stands for excellence in reproductive health education. 

Sincerely,

Melissa Bird

Executive Director
