Planned Parenthood family represents at Netroots Nation 2015!
The Planned Parenthood family (IPPF, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and Planned Parenthood Global) exhibiting at Netroots Nation 2015.
Planned Parenthood Global was proud to join colleagues at International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF) and Planned Parenthood Action as well as thousands of progressive bloggers, social justice advocates, organizers and activists gathered in Phoenix, Arizona for the annual Netroots Nations 2015 conference.
We were privileged to have powerful, meaningful conversations about social justice during the conference. At the “We Are One” panel, we facilitated a talk among members of IPPF, Ipas, and NARAL Arizona about the global-local conncetions in our work, and the shared opposition that movement for LGBT rights and SRRH face. It’s no secret that the same people fighting against reproductive rights are also fighting to deny other communities, like LGBT people, of their own rights. It is our duty to hold those exporting hate accountable for their actions.

Another great conversation happened around the topic of allyship. During our “Beyond Diversity” panel, we discussed what it means to move beyond talk and truly show up for our colleagues in the struggle.

Lori Adelman was also part of a third panel focusing on how people of color, queer activists, and young people are transforming the movement - another great conversation - and closed the conference with a 5 minute Ignite talk.
