BKForge is partnering with City Councilmember Shahana Hanif to urge community members to show up in support of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY) this budget season.

PPGNY is combating long standing under-investment in reproductive health care, combined with soaring health care costs, workforce shortages, the havoc wreaked by the COVID pandemic, and care restrictions imposed in the wake of the Dobbs decision. These factors are limiting care access today, even in New York.

To ensure PPGNY can continue to provide the care New Yorkers depend on, PPGNY is pushing NYC to increase funding to PPGNY through the FY26 Budget. District 39ers can help support by joining BKForge at City Hall to sit in the committee room during the Health Committee hearing on March 24 to show support for the staff and patients who will testify on behalf of PPGNY.
