Reminder that testosterone therapy (T) is NOT birth control, and it’s totally safe to use birth control if you’re on T.

To learn more, chat with a nurse or doctor — like the expert providers at your nearest Planned Parenthood health center. They can help you figure out which birth control methods are right for you, no matter what other medicines you’re taking.

Call 866.904.7721, or visit ppgwni.org to schedule an appointment.

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t need to stress over an STI test! STIs happen and all are treatable. What's important is getting tested regularly, and your doctor or nurse can help you figure out how often that should be. ✅

Getting tested helps keep you (and your partners) safe, so call 866.904.7721 to schedule a visit, or schedule online at ppgwni.org.

While we’re temporarily relieved to see this result, it should have never gotten to this point. Today’s ruling simply delays a final ruling and allows the fight to continue at the lower court.

This case was about people getting emergency care and the lengths anti-abortion lawmakers are willing to go to ban abortion — even if it means people will be at grave risk of endangering their health or even dying.

We should ALL be free to make our own decisions about our bodies, lives, and futures.

The decision brings abortion back into the political limelight as a major controversy, just months before the presidential election.

Being a good LGBTQIA+ ally means standing up against homophobia and transphobia every day - not just during Pride month. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Educate yourself, listen to and uplift LGBTQIA+ voices, challenge discrimination, and celebrate your q***r and trans friends. 🌈 ❤️

Two years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Since then, abortion opponents have banned the procedure in 21 states, attempted to use the courts to limit access to mifepristone, sought to remove young people’s confidential access to birth control, and more.

Everyone deserves the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies, lives, and futures. We remain committed and will continue to fight for a future where our reproductive freedoms are not up for debate.

You can support people traveling to Washington for abortion services by donating to our hospitality fund - a fund used to cover the costs of travel like gas, lodging, and childcare for those traveling long distances to receive abortion care. Make a donation at donate.ppgwni.org ❤️

Happy Juneteenth! ❤️💙

Juneteenth, June 19, is a day of jubilee and remembrance. Its roots go back to June 19, 1865, when — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed Black people from slavery — Black people in Texas finally got the news.

Juneteenth calls on us to lift up the humanity, beauty, and contributions of Black people — but Juneteenth also calls on us to renew our commitment to confront racism, specifically anti-Black racism, throughout our nation.

Everyone must be able to get the emergency care they need - including pregnant people who need an abortion. Thank you, Governor Inslee.

Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee on Tuesday said Washington will spell out in state law that hospitals must provide abortions if needed to stabilize patients, a step that comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule this month on whether conservative ...

May 28th is Menstrual Hygiene Day!

Today serves as a crucial reminder to combat the stigma surrounding menstruation, advocate for period equity, and highlight the difficulties in obtaining menstrual products.

Menstrual products are a human right, not a luxury - everyone deserves to menstruate with comfort and dignity, no matter what.
