| RSVP for Volunteer Orientaiton Earlier this month (May 22), in the dead of night, the Republican-led House of Representatives passed their version of the budget that would defund Planned Parenthood and put 200 health centers at risk of closure and leave more than 1.1 million patients in jeopardy of losing health care access. Now that the House has passed the reconciliation bill and voted to defund Planned Parenthood, it’s time to hold members accountable for their vote. The goal is to ensure that anti-SRH members of the House immediately feel the consequences of stepping into the hornet’s nest from PP supporters and their constituents. This is particularly important for priority target House members. Additionally, we need to shore up champions so they are emboldened to fight. Now is the time to BURN our chumps and BOLSTER our champs. Call your member of Congress and tell them “I am deeply disappointed you voted to defund Planned Parenthood. This action puts 200 health centers at risk of closure and will make it impossible for people in this district to get health care.” You can find full details of each event in the descriptions below but here is the short list of our upcoming events for June: Wednesday June 11th @6pm – Volunteer Orientation Thursday June 12th @6pm – June Leadership Action Team Tuesday June 24th @6pm – Patient Escort Training Wednesday June 25th @6pm – Book Club Discussion Saturday June 28th @10am – Canvassing for Healthy Neighborhoods in Norristown!
