Dear PPMW Supporter,
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Womens’ Health Organization one year ago, it stripped tens of millions of people of the right to make their own personal medical decisions. The impact was immediate, putting people’s health and lives at risk. Within two weeks, Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington (PPMW) was seeing patients from Texas, Georgia, Ohio, and Florida — a trajectory that has only intensified throughout this past year.
Access to abortion is growing further out of reach for millions of Americans . People are being pushed further into pregnancy, having to resort to an abortion method that they wouldn’t have otherwise chosen, or unable to access legal abortion at all. And due to systemic racism and discrimination, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people, people of color, immigrants, people living with low incomes, and people in rural areas are impacted the most.
Despite monumental setbacks, we remain part of a strong movement that is built to last .
Take action:
* Make a donation to the PPMW Abortion Access Fund to directly support abortion access and help connect patients with the care they need. [[link removed]]
* Join us on Saturday, June 24th at 11:30 a.m., for a pre-rally ahead of the Women’s March National Day of Action in DC. The pre-rally is in partnership with Planned Parenthood Advocates for DC, Maryland & NoVA (PPADMV); the Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPAF); the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU); and NARAL.

PPMW is dedicated to ensuring that everyone has the ability to make decisions about their own reproductive lives and futures. Our doors remain open and our team will continue to provide non-judgemental, reproductive health care for those who come to us seeking care — no matter what .
Thank you for your continued support .
In solidarity,
Laura Meyers, Ph.D.
President & CEO
