🚨 Take action for Ohio repro workers! 🚨

PPGOH staff, including patient navigation, are facing layoffs. The workers (PPGOH Workers United) are asking folks to act now, urging management to cut additional senior leadership pay before laying off critical staff. linktr.ee/PPGOHWorkersUnited
Purple gradient with text reading, "ACTION NEEDED: Support Ohio Repro Workers! Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio Workers United are facing layoffs in the wake of cuts to Medicaid. As of now, layoffs are planned for health center workers, including the entire Patient Navigation Program. As an abortion fund, Patient Navigation is the heart of our work. It’s undeniable that removing this program—and offloading those responsibilities to other staff without dedicated time & training—will hurt abortion seekers. PPGOH Workers United is asking Executive Leadership to reduce their own pay to save critical patient support roles. At this point, PPGOH management say they won’t reduce exec pay to protect their workers. Here’s what PPGOH Workers United needs from supporters." Purple gradient reading, "Take action for Ohio repro workers. 1. Send a letter to management. Use their template or write your own. 2. Share your experience with the Patient Navigation Program. Share why Patient Navigation is important to you! Complete the Google form with written or video testimony (can also be anonymous). 3. Call & leave a message voicing your support. Call PPGOH CEO Erica Wilson-Domer & Chief People, Equity, & Learning Officer Diego Espino, urging them to take cuts before laying off critical staff.

We're at our strongest when we recognize folks' inherent dignity, autonomy, and struggle for liberation.
Purple gradient with linked barbed wire and text reads, "The fight for bodily autonomy must include trans folks. The fights for abortion care, trans health care, and the right to exist without stigma and criminalization are the same fight. If you support abortion funds, you should unequivocally support trans liberation."

Not only is it generally NOT required that providers report self-managed abortions to law enforcement, but it's often actually a violation of patients' rights to do so.

Check out more from @ifwhenhow.bsky.social here: ifwhenhow.org/resources
Black and red gradient reading, "45% of pregnancy criminalization cases were reported to law enforcement by healthcare providers & social workers. Reporting patients to law enforcement for suspected or intended self-managed abortion is often unnecessary under mandatory reporting requirements and violates patient privacy laws. Cases identified between 2000 & 2020, via If/When/How’s Self-Care, Criminalized Report" Black and red gradient reading, "In most states & situations, being a mandated reporter does not equal disclosing self-managed abortion to law enforcement. Check out If/When/How’s resources for info on the intersection between mandatory reporting with patient privacy & care."
