Palm Springs, CA - The Reel Women’s Film Festival, Chaired by Eileen Stern and the dedicated festival committee, is back in Palm Springs for its ninth year. Each year, this festival showcases powerful films that tackle important issues, entertain, and raise funds for Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest. These critical funds go toward local programs and services for communities throughout San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial Counties.
The Reel Women’s Film Festival is an engaging opportunity for Planned Parenthood supporters in the region to come together and support access to critical and high-quality reproductive health care. In light of attacks against reproductive rights across the nation, California continues to serves as a refuge for abortion care. Now more than ever, it is critical that Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest continue providing vital, compassionate care to all patients who come to our health centers.
