Exciting news! A bill allowing the dispensing of a year’s supply of birth control at once for new prescriptions + refills could be pulled up for a vote soon. Thank you to Senators Emily Alvarado & Vandana Slatter! Urge your state senator to vote YES on SB 5498: plannedp.info/3QziN59 #WALeg

Abortion bans are killing people. This isn't the time for sitting quietly. There is risk in speaking truth to power. But when we use our voices together, we're stronger — and we're harder to silence.

We’re asking the #WALeg to pass progressive revenue streams to balance the budget instead of making cuts to essential services — including sexual and reproductive health care. Get into the details of one of our top legislative priorities + take action at plannedp.info/no-cuts-safety-net ➡️ (1/2)

🚨 ID action alert! 🚨 Tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. in EW 42, HB 264 is scheduled for a public hearing w/ the House Judiciary, Rules & Administration Committee. This is a “bathroom bounty bill” claiming to “protect the privacy of women," but it’s really an attack on trans & nonbinary Idahoans. #IDLeg (1/3)

🚨 ID action alert! 🚨 SB 1046 deceptively promotes anti-abortion propaganda in schools under the guise of "health education." While the bill doesn't name “Meet Baby Olivia,” its sponsors showed the video in a committee hearing. Swipe for the truth about the bill’s most egregious falsehoods. ➡️ (1/2)

🚨 WA action alert! 🚨 This year, WA is facing extensive budget cuts across the board — but it doesn't have to be this way. We are asking our elected leaders to balance the budget WITHOUT making cuts to safety-net social services, including sexual and reproductive health care. #WALeg (1/3)

Federal attacks on Medicaid could result in the 1 in 3 Hawaiʻi residents who are enrolled in Med-QUEST losing access to life-saving health care. Here’s what we know about these attacks, what they have to do with Med-QUEST, and where we go from here. ➡️

Thank you for your leadership and swift action here, @governorferguson.bsky.social!

We're expediting sex designation change requests on birth certificates. People born in WA who want to change the sex designation on their birth certificate can do so by filing a request with us. . doh.wa.gov/DesignationC...

This is a real Idaho lawmaker, who makes real decisions about real people's lives, calling Pride flags "sex flags." 😵‍💫 Make it clear to your reps that anti-LGBTQ+ laws like HB 41 (the flag ban on public school property) go against Idahoan values: http://plannedp.info/id-anti-lgbtq-bills

Thank you, Attorney General Brown! 👏👏👏 All people deserve the right & opportunity to live authentically & without fear. Affordable health care & bodily autonomy save lives. Trump’s attacks on gender-affirming care aren't rooted in science or fact — they're rooted in pure discrimination. #WALeg

This #BlackHistoryMonth, let’s begin unpacking the relationship between reproductive freedom and racial justice... (1/2)

Wondering how you can make sure your voice be heard during legislative session? In Hawaiʻi, constituents can submit testimony to their legislators advocating FOR or AGAINST a proposed bill. Swipe to learn how to submit testimony 100% online for the bill that matter most to you. ➡️ #HILeg (1/2)

🚨 WA action alert! 🚨 Every week brings new challenges & attacks on our rights from the federal government. While it can be easy to lose ourselves in the doom scrolling, we're here with hope: There are 2 actions you can take to strengthen our state's protections against federal attacks. #WALeg (1/3)

Idaho Senator Shippy has introduced the second "fetal personhood" bill of the legislative season. Swipe for the response from Mistie DelliCarpini-Tolman, PPAA – ID State Director. ➡️ #IDLeg

You may have heard about the federal funding freeze that was frozen in its tracks by near-universal pushback. We don’t know what will happen next, but we know “defunding” Planned Parenthood is high on the list. (1/2)

🚨 ID action alert! 🚨 We’re seeing unprecedented & unacceptable attacks on Idaho’s trans community, but we're not backing down from the fight. Help us tell lawmakers that we support the trans community & we demand they oppose these dangerous bills. Take action now: plannedp.info/4aFqzn4

🚨 WA action alert! 🚨 Over the last year, confusion has grown around I-2081, which was passed in WA's 2024 legislative session. Some people have leveraged this confusion to promote disinformation, stoke fears among parents, and sow division between schools and the communities they serve. #WALeg (1/4)

Since session began in early Jan., team PPAA – WA has been working hard with coalition partners & repro champs at the Capitol to protect Washingtonians from Trump’s attacks &sustain access to sexual and reproductive health care. Swipe for this session’s legislative priorities in Washington ➡️ (1/2)

#repost @ppvsat: 🏳️‍⚧️ To trans and nonbinary people: We see you, we value you, and we will fight fiercely for your rights. The fight for reproductive rights and trans rights are fundamentally intertwined because we all deserve the right to bodily autonomy.

Displaying pride & transgender rights flags is crucial for LGBTQ+ students to feel seen & supported. Banning these flags on school property sends a harmful message that these students' identities are not welcome or accepted. Tell your reps to vote NO on HB 41: plannedp.info/40MOk9w #IDLeg #IDPol

📍Idahoans: Save the date + make your voices heard! Meet face-to-face with legislators to talk about the sexual and reproductive health issues that matter most to you. ✨Idaho Lobby Day with PPAA – ID ✨February 17, 2025 ✨8 a.m.–3 p.m. MT at the Idaho State House RSVP: plannedp.info/3Cuvpa1

52 years ago today, Roe v. Wade recognized the constitutional right to abortion nationwide. In the summer of 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe & left abortion access up to the states. But Roe was never enough to ensure that anyone who needed an abortion could get one. (1/6)

👏👏👏 #WALeg

We see you. We hear you. And we will fight for you to get the health care you need for a full, happy, affirming life. 💙

Our legal partners will have more insight soon into what Trump's cruel Executive Orders mean for trans, nonbinary, & queer people – but we know that this is a very challenging day for so many folks in the LGBTQ+ community & other communities 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🚨 WA action alert! 🚨 Three bills to protect students and educators from so-called "parents' rights" have hearings this week. Now's the time to tell your reps that you support the rights and confidentiality of all young people in Washington. (1/2)

We’ve been here before. We know what moves to expect. But we will delay, defend, and defeat every attack — and we’re in this to win this. We’re not giving up until everyone can make their own decisions about their bodies, their lives, and their futures. Join the fight: plannedp.info/takeaction
