A film by 16-year-old Mazelle Joseph was one of eight screened this year by Alaska Youth For Environmental Action, a nonprofit led by young activists that started in 1998 to ensure youth voices would be heard.
Today, a federal court is hearing arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, a case brought by anti-abortion politicians with the goal of limiting access to mifepristone nationwide.
Men rely on Planned Parenthood health centers for essential health care, too: STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, wellness exams, birth control, and more.
“Defunding” Planned Parenthood takes away care from everyone.
2026 Repro Resolutions: Fighting to make sure everyone can get the high-quality, affordable health care they need. Supporting and sharing science-based, accurate health information. Reminding everyone that abortion and gender-affirming care are essential, life-saving health care. Protecting, restoring, and expanding access to sexual and reproductive health care
We’re bringing the same unstoppable energy we’ve always brought into 2026.

When Planned Parenthood health centers are forced to close, patients don’t magically get care elsewhere. They lose access – full stop. Patients deserve better than deception – they deserve Planned Parenthood.
Let us be clear – when Planned Parenthood health centers close, patients lose access to real, comprehensive health care – including contraception and cancer screenings.
Most CPCs aren’t legitimate medical clinics, and use lies, shame and fear to manipulate patients at their most vulnerable moments.
The @nytimes.com confirmed what we’ve been saying all along: crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) cannot replace Planned Parenthood health centers as a trusted health care provider.

"The comment period for the Trump administration's proposed attacks on health care for trans youth is open." Black and white images of Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. appear at the bottom of the image. A yellow bar covers their faces with four text boxes reading, "HRC.IM/COMMENT."
🚨TAKE ACTION🚨
Yesterday, HHS announced TWO proposed rules that aim to severely restrict access to best-practice health care for trans youth. Starting today, the public has 60 DAYS to comment on the rules.
Take action now: hrc.im/comment
NEW: The Trump administration announced a harmful new proposal that would block access to essential gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth across the country.
If this discriminatory regulation moves forward, we will see this administration in court.
Gender-affirming care for young people is based on decades of clinical research and backed by the leading U.S. medical associations.
This is cruelty, plain and simple. We’re holding our trans and nonbinary communities extra close today. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
*Everyone* should be able to access the support and expert medical care they need to thrive and live as their true selves. (2/2)
This is a direct attack on expert providers who deliver medically necessary care for transgender and nonbinary patients.
The goal is clear: threaten doctors and health care providers with jail time to stop them from giving patients the life-saving and evidence-based health care they need. (1/2)
Despite its recognition of the “deleterious effects” of the “defunding,” which jeopardizes care for 1.1M Planned Parenthood patients, the First Circuit nevertheless overturned a lower court’s preliminary injunction blocking the law from being enforced. Proceedings on the merits of the case continue.
With the December 31 deadline approaching to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, yesterday’s failed Senate votes could leave millions of people’s health care hanging in the balance because of political games.

While (of course) not everyone has been able to access the abortions they want, this data paints a promising picture of just how determined providers, patients, and activists are.

When funding is stripped away, patients already facing health care barriers will experience the greatest harm. (1/2)
These politicians need to hear from Alaskans loud & clear. Take a few minutes right now & let them know you won’t forget that they voted for power over people. These calls & e-mails will still be shared with lawmakers despite the shutdown.

Now, the federal government has shut down, due to the Trump administration’s attempt to make health care even more expensive & out of reach for everyday, hard-working people by letting Affordable Care Act tax credits lapse. We cannot let this happen quietly. (3/4)
Planned Parenthood health centers provide cancer screenings, STI testing & treatment, birth control & other essential care for people who have nowhere else to turn — especially for folks who are low income or who live in rural communities. Cutting off this access means putting lives at risk. (2/4)
This summer, our federal delegation chose politics over patients when they voted in support of the Big, Bad, Budget Bill (HR 1), which blocks patients who rely on Medicaid from using their coverage at Planned Parenthood. Because of these votes, thousands of Alaskans must pay the price. (1/4)
Birth 👏 control 👏 is 👏 health 👏 care.
And EVERYONE deserves access to it — no matter who they are, where they live, or how much they earn.
