Give Big (based in Seattle, WA) and Idaho Gives (based in Boise, ID) are both one-day-only online fundraising events where donors from across our communities – and across the country – can have their contributions to local causes MATCHED.

Thanks to your support as of April 1, 2021 we are officially Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky! The paperwork is signed, and teams, infrastructure, and systems in each state are moving in concert - all six states are humming along together, for the health of our many diverse communities.

This merger is a forward-looking move. Through it, Planned Parenthood can bolster the fight for reproductive rights in each state, recover from heavy damages wrought during the time of the Trump administration and the COVID-19 pandemic, and plug all Planned Parenthood health centers into the best medical technology and education — keeping Planned Parenthood poised to expand access and improve reproductive care at every opportunity. 

Indiana has a unique history when it comes to women’s rights. Unlike many women’s suffrage movements throughout the nation, in which Black voices were silenced and rallies were segregated, women’s voting activism in Indiana was sometimes unusually integrated. Black women were openly admitted to women’s suffrage conferences in Indiana throughout the mid to late 1800s.

There are currently 17 cases about abortion that are just one step away from the Supreme Court, and any one of those cases could result in a significant impact on abortion access.

The lobbying work of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawai'i has recently focused on the Protecting Pregnant Patients Act in Washington.

Planned Parenthood’s education programs are most often associated with the sex ed classes offered to teens and young adults. However, Planned Parenthood offers education for adults as well. In Indiana, Planned Parenthood has expanded sex education programs to reach incarcerated women.
