Planned Parenthood Empire State Acts
@ppesacts.bsky.social
Advocating for sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice in New York.
Starting today, the Medical Aid in Dying Act is in effect in New York. For terminally ill New Yorkers, this law provides a compassionate end-of-life option and affirms that people should have the freedom to make deeply personal health care decisions about their own bodies.
Reproductive freedom means every person gets to decide what’s right for their own body. No exceptions.
Everyone deserves access to reproductive health care without barriers.
Meet Annika, a reproductive freedom advocate who joined us at the Capitol for this year’s Day of Action. 💗 They shared why intersectionality matters and their vision for affordable, accessible reproductive health care for all. Hear what keeps them in the fight. ✨ #ReproductiveFreedom #FundCare
In New York, Black women must work until age 81 to catch up to earnings a white man would make by age 60. We must take action to close the gender and racial wage gap! #EqualPayNY #BlackWomensEqualPayDay @powherny.bsky.social
Gender-affirming care is more than medical — it includes the care, information, and resources you need to feel the most like yourself. Affirming someone’s gender simply means honoring every person’s unique identity and experiences while providing the best care for all patients, no matter what.
Everyone deserves accurate sexual health information, accessible care, healthy relationships, and the autonomy to make decisions about their own body. This #DisabilityPrideMonth, we're celebrating disabled people and the fight for a future where those rights belong to everyone.
Make no mistake about it: immigrants are welcome at every Planned Parenthood health center.
Three reproductive freedom bills are on Governor Hochul's desk: ✍️ Protect health data ✍️ Strengthen protections for pregnant & postpartum incarcerated people ✍️ Safeguard access to medication abortion Let’s get them signed into law!
Reproductive freedom and democracy are inseparable. In a powerful new op-ed for @nyamnews.bsky.social, @alexismjpp.bsky.social reminds us that attacks on abortion access are part of a broader effort to undermine our rights, our voices, and our democracy. 🧵
Meet Lois, a longtime Planned Parenthood patient, supporter, and advocate. 💗 We sat down with Lois to hear about her experiences with Planned Parenthood, what our health centers have meant to her over the years, and why she's continued fighting for reproductive freedom. Get to know her story. ✨
Happy 250 years of freedom…for some. Today, we're thinking of the transgender and queer communities, immigrants, and marginalized people everywhere whose rights and safety are under attack. We'll keep fighting until freedom, dignity, and bodily autonomy belong to ALL of us.
No ruling will ever change what we know to be true: trans youth deserve to play, to learn + to exist freely. Trans youth need to know their community is with them, no matter what the Supreme Court says. Share this post + leave a note of support so every trans young person knows they are not alone.💜
BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that states can ban transgender girls from school sports. This is a devastating ruling for trans students across the country who simply want the freedom to play with their friends.
Across New York State, Planned Parenthood volunteers, staff, and supporters are full of #Pride. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Four years ago today, Roe v. Wade was overturned and we lost the federal right to abortion. Planned Parenthood health centers have been here every day since – and we’re not going anywhere.
It's been 4 years since the #Dobbs decision & abortion is still severely restricted across the US—with 13 states currently banning care entirely. Advocates & policymakers must champion a bold vision of access that goes beyond Roe, rooted in evidence & human rights to guarantee access for all.
It’s #ElectionDay! 🗳️ Your voice matters, and today is your chance to make it heard. Polls are open, so make a plan and cast your ballot.
Friendly reminder for this Monday morning 💕🏳️⚧️
Happy Juneteenth. ❤️🖤💚 May today be a day to celebrate, reflect, rest, and honor the enduring legacy of Black freedom, resistance, and joy.
It’s less than a week away from Primary Day in New York! 🗳️
