Congressional Week of Action
|
|
Monday, November 10 - Friday, Novebmer 14
|
|
President Trump and his backers in Congress created a health care crisis: people around the country are facing skyrocketing health care costs, along with the devastating impact of the law they passed to gut Medicaid and block patients from accessing essential care at Planned Parenthood health centers. Republicans in Congress would rather shut down the government than work across the aisle to address the health care crisis that they've created. Not only that, some anti-abortion lawmakers are trying to take away abortion coverage in the process.
Our Congressional Representatives will be back in their home district the week of November 10. We need to make sure that our Congressional Representatives hear from us and hold them accountable for creating a health care crisis.
Sign up to participate in our Week of Action to get quick, simple, impactful daily actions you can take each day to make your voice heard!

Preconceived Film Screening

Come join PPHP for a screening of Preconceived (2024), a documentary focused on the rise of crisis pregnancy centers and the barriers to accessible reproductive health care they create.
Where does someone turn when facing an unplanned pregnancy? Preconceived is a raw and insightful look into the rise of the enigmatic crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) pervading America. Shedding light on how many of these centers are a part of a movement striving to make abortion unthinkable and illegal, the documentary explores the complex role of deception, finances, faith, and privacy.

Join the Women's Diversity Network, Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, and the YWCA of White Plains & Central Westchester for a film on puberty, menstruation, and health discovery: the conversations we’ve always needed.
The journey often starts with the first period, but the way in which we come to know ourselves and our bodies begins with every conversation we’ve had, or haven’t had, before then.
Through the eyes of everyday families and celebrity mothers like Sheryl Lee Ralph and Tabitha Brown, Me Period explores the beauty and complexity of how we navigate sensitive conversations about our bodies and our periods.

Destigmatizing Abortion Through Language
|
|
Tuesday, November 18
6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., Virtual
|
|
Join Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic virtually on Tuesday, November 18 from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. for a training on how each of us can help destigmatize abortion through our language.
Having an abortion is common. Nearly one in four American women have an abortion by the time they're 45. So why can it be so hard to talk about?
In this training, we'll have an honest discussion about how abortion stigma impacts lives and learn strategies to talk about abortion that help chip away at the stigma around this fundamental right.

Every Planned Parenthood supporter and patient advocate has a story to tell as to why they support access to sexual and reproductive health care. Stories humanize our work to show Planned Parenthood's commitment to the health and wellness of the people and communities we serve through our health care services, education programs, and fearless advocacy. With sexual and reproductive health care under constant attack, it is essential that we share as many stories as possible to raise awareness and engage more people in our movement.
