How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Civic Engagement as a Path to Reproductive Justicemethodology: democratic participationBy linking reproductive freedom to voting rights and broader democratic participation, Planned Parenthood advances reproductive justice, because equitable access to care cannot be achieved without political power and inclusive representation.
- Electoral and Judicial Influence for Reproductive Rightsmethodology: electoral advocacyBy engaging in electoral advocacy, endorsing pro-reproductive health candidates, and advocating for judicial appointments, Planned Parenthood seeks to protect abortion access and reproductive rights, because long-term policy change depends on shaping the political and legal systems that create and interpret those laws.
- Grassroots Advocacy and Public Mobilizationmethodology: grassroots advocacyBy organizing sustained grassroots advocacy and public mobilization campaigns, Planned Parenthood defends access to reproductive health care, because collective public pressure can resist legislative and policy threats more effectively than institutional lobbying alone.
- Public Accountability Through Data and Scoringmethodology: public accountability scoringBy publishing congressional scorecards and using public opinion data, Planned Parenthood increases accountability for lawmakers’ positions on reproductive health, because transparency and constituent awareness can deter anti-access legislation and influence electoral outcomes.
- Story-Based Advocacy and Stigma Reductionmethodology: story-based advocacyBy using personal storytelling and public discourse, Planned Parenthood reduces stigma around abortion and strengthens advocacy, because sharing lived experiences humanizes reproductive health care and shifts public narratives more effectively than data-driven messaging alone.
