PPCWNY is proud to co-host this Saturday's Reproductive Rights Rally in Rochester! ⬇️
This rally will focus on urgent nationwide issues, including:

• Preventable deaths due to restricted care
• The criminalization tied to abortion bans
📅 Saturday, May 16, 2026
🕛 12-2pm
📍 Washington Square Park, Rochester, NY
Join us in solidarity as we rally with our community for reproductive freedom nationwide 🤝
Mifepristone is safe and effective — and has been FDA approved for over 25 years. It has helped patients make medical decisions in private and has expanded access to abortion care as lawmakers continue to restrict abortion.
Medical research and evidence overwhelmingly prove that providing mifepristone to patients by mail using telehealth is just as safe and effective as providing the medication in person at a health center.

If you’ve ever had a urinary tract infection (UTI), where painful bacteria spreads throughout your bladder, you know that one is more than enough. 🙃 Most UTIs are easy to treat – and with these these simple tips, they can even be prevented! 💦
🫰There are two ways to donate:
➡️ Visit our Amazon Wishlist, order, and have the items sent to us directly (link in bio!) OR
➡️ Using the Amazon Wishlist as a guide for what we need, collect new, unopened items and deliver them to one of our administrative locations during open business hours:
📍Buffalo: 60 E Amherst St, Buffalo, NY, 14214
📍Rochester: 114 University Ave, Rochester, NY, 14605
📍Syracuse: 1120 E Genesee St, Syracuse, NY, 13210
Some of our highest priority needs include granola bars, cozy socks, fidget toys and stress balls, and cute pens — but any new, unopened items from our wishlist (or similar) are so helpful and appreciated. 🫰
Everyone deserve to feel safe, supported, and comfortable after an abortion. 💙
We need you to join us — take 2 minutes to message our NYS leadership calling for:
✨ Funding for gender-affirming care

Every patient should have control over their private health information. S.1633/A.2613 would give patients real control over who can access their electronic health records and when, putting privacy back where it belongs.
This bill just took an important step forward, advancing through the Assembly Health Committee.
📣 Now let’s keep the momentum going. Email state leadership and urge them to pass S.1633/A.2613 this session.
