Rally for Patients' Rights - Wednesday, April 2nd from 9:00am-2:00pm outside the US Supreme Court

On April 2, the Supreme Court will hear Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could allow states to block Medicaid patients from accessing care at Planned Parenthood health centers. This means millions of people—especially Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities, LGBTQ+ people, and those with low incomes—could lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing and treatment, and more. Join Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, and Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, DC outside of the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday, April 2, to hear from storytellers and providers about how this case could harm patients.
