Planned Parenthood of Greater New York

Are you a new or returning Sex Educator looking to build your knowledge and skills? The PPGNY Training Institute just announced an ongoing training series- Sex Ed Core Skills- where participants will explore important practices for implementing effective sex education. Join us for the first session this Thursday August 8th for Sexuality and Frameworks for Sex Educators. $30 for individuals and staff of smaller organizations// $60 for staff of larger organizations- see the registration page for details.

PPGNY's President & CEO Wendy Stark recently joined forces with CEOs across New York's Planned Parenthood affiliates to voice a transparent message to our supporters, patients, and followers: New York’s abortion access ecosystem is being pushed to the limit. Operational costs, staffing shortages, scarce access to abortion care providers in rural areas, and hostile political landscapes leave organizations like PPGNY striving to compensate and overcome systemic flaws and challenges. Our transparency is not meant to alarm but to inform as we actively work to preserve and protect long-term access to our services for the most marginalized New Yorkers – BIPOC communities, LGBTQ+ people, people who have recently migrated to the U.S., and families with low incomes. As leaders, we are all being called to respond to this urgent moment with bold actions – and sometimes make painful decisions – to meet the demands of today, tomorrow, and the future. https://bit.ly/3WMzTQU

Our Annual Report is live! 2023 was the year of resilience for PPGNY. We streamlined the patient experience, expanded partnerships, galvanized support and action, and expanded awareness for abortion care services, including an award-winning campaign that reached 10 million people. Thank you for standing alongside us. Around the country and here in New York, when people choose, vote, organize, and fight for health care access, they are securing their own rights and freedoms. We know we can count on you to stay in this fight. The months and years ahead are going to take all of us. https://lnkd.in/dCXkN8Px

We're proud to amplify the recent launch of "Your Sexual Health Toolkit" and "Our Stories, Our Journeys: A Sexual Health Game," created by Project SHINE: a multidisciplinary network of intellectual and developmental disability experts, self-advocates, and sexual and reproductive health professionals, including PPGNY. The toolkit, which has been created with and tested by young people with disabilities, the Project SHINE advisory board, and youth ambassadors, includes engaging content on sexual and reproductive health, anatomy, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, sexual behavior and activity, pleasure, body image, and relationships. Although this toolkit can be used by anyone interested in learning more about bodies and sexuality, the launch hopes to be a contribution in the quest for disability, queer, and trans rights in all their intersections. Youth with disabilities have direct access to the toolkit or can choose to use it with trusted adults. Too often, young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are left out of sex education conversations, and these disparities and lack of inclusion double when it comes to queer and trans youth with disabilities. Project SHINE continues the work to address inequities in sexual health by ensuring accessible education and health services for youth with intellectual and developmental disability ages 16-24 and the people who support them. Explore the new toolkit and game via the link, and please share with your communities! Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/evEiVgrU

Happy Juneteenth! All PPGNY health centers are closed. We observe today, also known as Freedom Day, in celebration while recognizing the intersection of historical liberation and the continued fight against medical bias and discrimination. PPGNY’s commitment to racial equity in reproductive health care never wavers, and we are proud to offer compassionate care to members of the Black community through an equitable, trustworthy lens, no matter what. Please support Black-led NY organizations that work on racial equity, including The Audre Lorde Project, The Okra Project, New York Black Nurses Association, Black Women's Health Imperative, and The National Black Leadership Commission on Health.

BREAKING NEWS: Medication abortion access remains safe...for now. New Yorkers have the chance to protect abortion with the NY Equal Rights Amendment, which is on the ballot this November. "Here in New York, we must do all we can to safeguard our right to bodily autonomy, and there is a critical opportunity to do that in November with the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. The NY ERA would explicitly prohibit discrimination by the government based on a person's ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, and sex – including sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression – in addition to pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes - no matter what.” Wendy Stark, President & CEO, PPGNY Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3VQqxDj
