Raíz

El programa Raíz de Planned Parenthood está comprometido con el liderazgo de los organizadores Latinx y su creatividad y trabajo para romper las barreras en el acceso a la atención médica en la comunidad Latinx.

Nuestra visión es que Raíz existe y prospera en todos los estados y afiliados, ya que sabemos que los afiliados sirven a las comunidades latinas todos los días. Hoy, los centros de salud de Planned Parenthood brindan atención a casi 2.4 millones de pacientes por año, y el 24% de se identifican como latinos.

Desde el 2014, el programa Raíz ha trabajado para desarrollar equipos de activistas y grupos comunitarios en colaboración con comunidades latinas, para mejorar la salud y concientizar a la población sobre sus derechos.

Raíz comenzó como un esfuerzo sin precedentes de Planned Parenthood para inscribir a latinxs a la Ley de Cuidados de la Salud a Bajo Precio (ACA, por siglas en inglés), también conocida como Obamacare. 

Hoy en día, los organizadores, y los equipos de voluntarios trabajan en las iniciativas locales de Raíz, incluyendo la expansión de Medicaid, la reforma migratoria, la educación sexual integral y mucho más! Raíz se trata mucho más que la salud. Se trata de justicia, conocimiento y poder.

Lo que significa Raíz:

Raíz: Es una palabra que simboliza todo el trabajo que hacemos en la comunidad latinx desde sus cimientos.

Latinx: Es un término igualitario en cuanto al género y no binario que utilizamos para describir a las personas que atendemos. Es un término que adoptamos en nuestro equipo porque nuestro objetivo es desarrollar el poder con todas las personas de la comunidad latinx, independientemente de su género.

Te invitamos a ser parte de nuestro equipo de voluntarios, los cuales nos ayudan a realizar eventos en la comunidad y a expandir la voz sobre la educación sexual, derechos reproductivos, y ser la voz de la comunidad. Contamos con entrenamientos y capacitación diaria.

Raíz

Planned Parenthood’s Raíz program is committed to the leadership of Latinx organizers and their creativity and work in breaking down barriers in accessing health care in the Latinx community. 

Our shared vision is that Raíz exists and thrives in every single state and affiliate, as we know affiliates serve Latinx communities every single day. Today, Planned Parenthood health centers provide care to almost 2.4 million patients per year, 24% of whom identify as Latinx.

Since 2014, the Raíz program has worked to build sustainable, community-organizing teams in mutual partnership with Latinx communities to improve their health and rights.

Raíz began as an unprecedented effort by Planned Parenthood to sign Latinxs up for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. Today, organizers, fellows and volunteer teams work on local Raíz initiatives, including Medicaid expansion, immigration reform, comprehensive sex education and much more! Raíz is about more than just health. It’s about justice, knowledge, and power.

Raíz Means

Root: Raíz means ‘root’ in Spanish, and it symbolizes the work we do in the Latinx communities from the ground up.

Latinx: It’s a gender inclusive and non-binary term that we use to describe the people we serve. It’s a term embraced by our team because we aim to build power among everyone in the Latinx community, regardless of gender

We invite you to be part of our volunteer team, who help us hold events in the community and spread the word about sex education, reproductive rights, and being the voice of the community. We have daily training and training.
