If you have the knowledge, let others light their candles in it – Margaret Fuller
Time and time again, Planned Parenthood supporters show up to support this community. Despite being in the thick of our toughest battles in the movement for reproductive freedom, Iowans are rising above. Because of supporters—like you—Iowans can come to Planned Parenthood North Central States to access vital health care, innovative research, inclusive sex education, and dedicated advocacy.
Join us to gather in community and demonstrate your support of reproductive freedom.
