Join us for the PPMW Impact Gala, hosted by Common!

Saturday, September 28, 2024
Waldorf Astoria, Washington, DC

Millions of Americans are no longer able to access vital reproductive health care, with Florida most recently imposing a devastating near-total abortion ban. After Virginia, the next state with accessible abortion care in the southern United States is New Mexico!

Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, DC (PPMW) is not backing down. We’re expanding our commitment to health care equity for all through expert, compassionate care; inclusive sex education; and passionate advocacy. 

Join us for an electrifying evening celebrating the power of our PPMW community. Our host will be Common — a globally celebrated artist, actor, author, and advocate whose accolades include three Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe.

Let's come together to support patients in need — whether they live in the capital region or are forced to travel hundreds of miles in order to reach our doors.
