Since 1928, Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts has been the state’s most trusted provider of sexual and reproductive health care, education, research, and advocacy. PPLM works toward a future where there is equal access to high-quality and judgement-free care for all people across the state while advocating and protecting those across the country from bans on their reproductive autonomy. Throughout Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts’ 96-year history, there have been extraordinary women and men who have contributed leadership, courage, and support. There have been judges, attorneys, and plaintiffs who persevered to assure access to choice, to counseling, to education, to women’s rights, and to patients’ safety. There have been clinicians, lobbyists, legislators, parents, and teachers who have worked tirelessly to assure the highest quality of sexual and reproductive health care for those who could pay and for those who could not. There have been students, advocates, grandmothers, and business executives who have rallied supporters, escorted patients, influenced politicians, spoken eloquently, and challenged legalities to get to where the organization is today in the ongoing struggle for sexual and reproductive rights. And throughout this tumultuous journey from being marginalized to mainstreamed, a relentless commitment to quality service, education, advocacy, and outreach has endured, sustained, and been enhanced by the indomitable spirit that has always defined Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts.
