EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

The issues brought to the surface in 2020 caused the Board of Directors, under the direction of Laura Meyers, to reassess the organization goals and directions, resulting in our new 5-year strategic plan. With the focus of acknowledging the prevalence of racism, cis- and heteronormativity, and white supremacy as ongoing threats to public health, PPMW has worked to develop a strategic plan that continues to value the fundamental freedom of all people to control their bodies, lives and futures. As we constantly evolve to be a more representative and justice centered organization, we aim to keep equity and inclusivity at the center of everything we do. Additionally, PPMW joined the LGBTQ+ Coalition in 2021 to advocate for funding toward health equity in the DC budget.
