Personal stories are critical when advocating to maintain or even expand access to the vital health services that Planned Parenthood provides. By sharing your story, you can play a significant role in the work we do.
In 2019, we are demanding that legislators support the Fair Shot for All agenda — policies that will invest in our communities, close the growing economic divide and protect the rights of all Oregonians:
- Investing in Our Future: By fixing our broken tax structure, we can level the playing field, address inequality and create economic opportunity for all Oregonians.
- Access to the Care We Need: By ensuring all workers can afford to take time away from their jobs to care for their loved ones, paid family and medical leave insurance will make families more financially stable.
- Stable Homes for Families: By ending no-cause evictions and stabilizing rents, we can create more economically stable and diverse communities.
- Equal Access to Justice: By ensuring everyone has equal access to legal representation, we can protect the constitutional right to a fair trial.
- Fairness and Opportunity for Immigrant Families: By removing unnecessary challenges for immigrant families, we can expand economic opportunity and ensure no Oregonian lives in constant fear of being harassed or detained.
If you have experienced difficulty in affording health care or housing or taking time away from your job to care for your loved ones, we need to hear from you. By sharing your personal story, you can play an important role in breaking down the system of discrimination and inequality that continues to hold us back.

This gag rule makes it impossible for Planned Parenthood health centers to participate in the Title X program at all. Planned Parenthood serves 41 percent of the people who rely on Title X for care in Oregon, meaning the new restrictions will have a devastating impact on care across the state.
