Day of Action, Show Up, Organize, Advocate

Day of Action 2023

Day of Action is going to be in person on January 24, 2023! 

 

With the fall of Roe, this has been the most difficult year for abortion rights we can remember – and that’s why we need your help. We need activists like you to remind our elected officials in Albany why sexual and reproductive health care matters. We can’t afford to be complacent. From ensuring the State budget funds sexual and reproductive health access to enshrining abortion rights in our state, our advocacy priorities are more urgent than ever.  

 

Registration is now open to join us in Albany!

Community Donation Drive

Menstrual Product Drive

Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic is partnering with New Hour for Women and Children to hold a menstrual product drive for women recently released from the carceral system in our area.

 

Returning home from incarceration is enormously challenging both financially and emotionally. The cost of menstrual products can sometimes be out of reach for recently released women, and your donation would help them transition into a new phase of their lives with dignity. Nobody should have to go without basic hygiene products. If you have the resources to contribute, please check out our Amazon wishlist.

DONATE HERE

Having an event? Encourage your attendees to bring a donation! It is a great way to educate and further your impact.

 

Any items can be shipped or delivered to our Smithtown Health Center. Please email tyler.davis@pphp.org for more information.
