Good morning! BIG NEWS FOR THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD FUNDRAISER!
Last night, the (to quote our President) VERY NASTY WOMAN who offered the the first two rounds of matching funds - a total of $2,000.00 - made her match to Planned Parenthood.
This anonymous donor did so in honor of her grandmother, JCH. Our donor says:
"My wonderful, smart, sharp, strong, politically active, Wellesley-educated grandma could only access birth control in 1950s Boston because her husband was a physician. She used her privilege to fight so everyone could access reproductive rights. Although I am chagrined that we still have to fight, it is an honor and a privilege to continue the legacy."
We still have $286.00 remaining in the matching funds from our SECOND anonymous matching funds donor. The total raised funds stands at $5,428.00 from 63 different individual donors.
Please post in comments or email (fishmac at gmail dot com) a copy of the receipt or bank transaction – no personal info is needed; a screencap of the amount and that it went to Planned Parenthood is enough for us to access matching funds. Note: Planned Parenthood Texas Votes is a Political Action Committee and is required by federal law to ask contributor birthdates.
The only disappointment I have from this fundraiser so far is the lack of contributions from straight men who benefit from Planned Parenthood's services to women. I’m working on addressing that.
Planned Parenthood does not concern itself with the life circumstances of their clients. They simply support who comes through their door. With your help, we are making sure those doors stay open to all in the future.
