Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest

We will never stop fighting for a future where everyone controls their own lives and bodies.

All bans on abortion are extreme because they prevent people from accessing the life-saving reproductive health care they need.

…And the award goes to Californians voting YES on Prop 50 this November 4th! 🏆✨

¡Feliz mes de la herencia latinx/latine!

This morning, the U.S. Senate voted to advance their cruel budget reconciliation bill. The House must now pass an identical bill before it can go to the President to become law.

Uplifting @pppswaction.bsky.social at San Diego City Council Jun 6 calling for pulling funding from ALPR: "We oppose SDPD coordinating and sharing data with ICE and Border Patrol...and we know our patients accessing our health care services at our centers feel less safe when they are surveilled."

They're coming after affordable, life-saving care to score political points and give tax breaks to billionaires.

The time to act is now. Help us fight back.

Congressmember Ken Calvert voted to support the February 2025 house budget resolution, which included potential steep cuts to Medicaid – an essential program that provides access to health care for 34% of his constituents in District 41.

San Diego County Supervisors are in charge of a 8.1 billion dollar tax-funded budget that impacts access to health care, affordable housing, parks, libraries, and other public services. We need someone in office who will fight for the well-being of our communities.

We strongly believe immigration status should never prevent someone from receiving health care – that’s never changed and it never will.

We want to assure you that Planned Parenthood provides services to all people who need them, regardless of their immigration status or the immigration status of people who live with them.

If immigration agents like ICE of CBP come to your place of work or show up at your door, here is a helpful resource from the ACLU on what you can do.

Due to an increased fear of deportation, harassment, and discrimination, immigrants may be reluctant to access the health care they out of fear.

Creemos firmemente que el estatus migratorio nunca debería impedir que alguien reciba atención médica; eso nunca ha cambiado y nunca cambiará.

Queremos asegurarles que Planned Parenthood ofrece servicios a todas las personas que los necesitan, independientemente de su estatus migratorio o el estatus migratorio de las personas que viven con ellos.

Debido al aumento de las amenazas de deportación, acoso, y discriminación, los inmigrantes pueden estar preocupados sobre cómo acceder a la atención médica que necesitan.

Si agentes de inmigración como ICE o CBP llegan a su trabajo o se presentan en su casa, aquí hay un recurso útil de parte de nuestros compañeros de ACLU sobre lo que puede hacer.

The Government's Website on Reproductive Rights Is Gone: Here’s an Important Fact Sheet In 2022, the White House launched reproductiverights.gov to help people understand what rights were available to them sans Roe v. Wade. The Trump administration appears to have shut it down.

We know that Roe v. Wade was never enough. But since Roe’s reversal, abortion access has been pushed even further out of reach for millions. For abortion access info, check out this article:

YOU deserve the power to make decisions about your own body — NOT politicians! #MyBodyMyChoice

We are heartbroken to lose the indomitable force that is our former president, Cecile Richards. In her 12 devoted years of service to our org, she brought us to new heights in our health care, education, and advocacy work.

She was the embodiment of "Care, no matter what."
