Marquette #PinkOut Day Event TODAY!

#PinkOut Day is a National Day of Action on September 29th, when people across the country will join together to stand with Planned Parenthood, an essential health care provider that millions of women, men, and young people rely on for reproductive health care, education, and advocacy.

Planned Parenthood provides 2.7 million women and men a year with essential, preventive reproductive health care, such as birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, and well-woman exams. More than half of its health centers are in rural or medically underserved areas, meaning that without Planned Parenthood, many patients would literally have nowhere else to turn.

Right-wing politicians in Congress are trying to attack women’s health by blocking Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds—a move that would leave millions of patients across the country devastated by stripping them of the basic reproductive health care they rely on. This effort is part of a broader agenda being pushed by an extreme group of politicians to restrict women’s access to health care and their ability to make their own medical decisions.

An event for Marquette, MI has been planned as a part of this day of action. Concerned citizens will be meeting at the Marquette Commons at 5PM to show their support. If you are interested in attending please RSVP to the Facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/876874132391304/ and wear pink that day!
