Dear Advocates,
This summer was a season of outreach, where our staff traveled across the region to connect with communities. Maryland
Western MD Repro Justice Forum: On August 13, Rahula Strohl from our Maryland team joined a reproductive justice forum hosted by the Hagerstown chapter of the Washington Area Clinic Defense Task Force. In addition to Rahula, speakers included Maryland abortion rights groups like the Baltimore Abortion Fund and Mountain Maryland Alliance for Reproductive Freedom. Participants discussed the abortion access landscape, reproductive rights in Maryland, and the work organizations are doing to protect access to care. PPADMV covered the 2022/23 elections, the long legislative and judicial roads we took to get here, and how abortion is continuously winning when voters are allowed a say.
Pride Across Maryland: PPADMV was out in full force during Pride month, partnering with Planned Parenthood of Maryland to sponsor six different Pride events across the state. Our team uplifted advocacy successes and celebrated Pride with the community. Expect to see our Maryland team at Pride SOMD on October 8 in Lexington Park, and at additional community events across Maryland.
