Planned Parenthood Partners with ONE Condom to Support Twin Cities Pride
For Immediate Release: June 5, 2024
Helping people take pride in their health by providing free condoms
St. Paul, MN —Inspired by conversations about the role of safe sex in public health, Planned Parenthood North Central States (PPNCS) is honored to once again partner with ONE Condom to provide over 10,000 free condoms at Twin Cities Pride, which historically has seen over 400,000 attendees. The condoms will be available June 29 and 30 at the PPNCS booth at Loring Park.
“We are breaking down stigma and empowering safe sex by partnering with One Condom to provide thousands of free condoms at Pride,” said Ruth Richardson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood North Central States. “Everyone deserves access to compassionate, affirming, and inclusive care. Planned Parenthood is proud to provide this care to people of all sexual orientations, gender expressions, and gender identities in our health centers and through our educational programs.”
Additional sexual health care materials, like dental dams, will be available at the Planned Parenthood booth. Physical barriers like condoms and dental dams can help reduce the spread of STIs.
“Today, and every day, ONE is PROUD! We’re honored to partner again with Planned Parenthood North Central States in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community at Twin Cities Pride,” said Milla Impola, director of communications at ONE Condoms. “Together we’ll dance and celebrate, distribute sexual health resources, and empower healthy decisions. Together We Are One.”
Planned Parenthood provides a wide range of sexual and reproductive health services, including cervical and breast cancer screenings, contraception care, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment, HIV testing, PrEP and PEP, immunizations, pregnancy testing, emergency contraception, gender-affirming care including hormone management, and abortion information and options.
