Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Action Fund
As you may remember, Planned Parenthood Action fund held a visibility event prior to President Obama’s visit in Minneapolis this past Saturday for a health care reform rally at the Target Center. While I was there, I interviewed Tim Stanley, Executive Director of the Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Action Fund about why Planned Parenthood chose to hold a visibility event, and what Planned Parenthood’s role is in the health care reform debate. Check it out!
Many of the Planned Parenthood supporters attended the actual rally inside the Target center--a video about that is coming soon. Thanks to all of you who came out to support women’s health!
Looking for ways to get involved?
1. Tell us your story: Politicians need to hear real stories to understand the importance of improving women's health, so we are collecting stories! Have you been to Planned Parenthood?

Tell us your story and why Planned Parenthood was an important health care provider for you.
2. Write a Letter to the Editor: If you've been reading your local newspaper, you've probably noticed that there's an awful lot of crazy things being said about women's health, family planning, birth control, and abortion—- can you help us dispel the misinformation by writing a letter to the editor? Contact Sally at shassell@ppmns.org
