INDIANAPOLIS – Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK) condemns the ideology and actions of white nationalism and its tactics of intimidation through racist violence, fear, and hate.
“We believe in the fundamental right of every person to live free from discrimination no matter what,” said Christie Gillespie, President and CEO of PPINK. “Now, more than ever, it is unacceptable to remain silent as marginalized and oppressed communities still face violence and hatred simply for standing up for the freedom, liberty, and justice they deserve. PPINK stands with people of color and allies in the face of such appalling attacks fueled by hate.”
