Planned Parenthood
Stands with Partners:
Families Belong Together
For Immediate Release: June 30, 2018
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Planned Parenthood is proud to stand in solidarity with immigrant families and our partners at We Belong Together, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, MomsRising, MamasConPoder, ACLU, United We Dream, MoveOn, and many others in their National Day of Action to assert that families belong together.
Statement from Dawn Laguens, Executive Vice President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
Immigrant rights are a reproductive justice issue — all people deserve the right to raise their children in a healthy and safe environment without being targeted by aggressive immigration tactics, and forced to live in constant fear. What is happening is cruel, unacceptable and truly heartbreaking. As a leading provider of reproductive health care, Planned Parenthood stands with immigrants and will continue to be a vocal advocate alongside our immigration partners in the fight to end these atrocities.
Planned Parenthood will continue to stand with all immigrants in their quest for a better life and fight alongside our partners to ensure families are treated humanely, with the respect they deserve.
