The Planned Parenthood Events In Your Area Celebrating #PinkOut Day
It's a sad reality the current presidential administration is a threat to Planned Parenthood — a women's health service that's an absolute staple necessity in communities all around the country. So, in an effort to rally up all of the voices that stand to protect Planned Parenthood, the organization has declared Wed, Mar. 29, Pink Out Day. Pink OutDay is a day to show support for Planned Parenthood and the vital services they have to offer women in this country. While the majority of the Pink Out will occur online and through social media, there are ways to show your support offline — you can check out one of the Planned Parenthood events in your area to start.
All around the country, rallies and get-togethers are popping up to give women a chance to layer their voices and speak for the women who can't. The point of this movement is to make so much noise that lawmakers can't ignore us. So the more people involved online and the more people who show up in person, the better chance we have of actually getting their attention in D.C.. Here are a few Planned Parenthood events that you might want to join in on now:
