WHAT'S HAPPENING
Like many of you, we are closely following the news around COVID-19 worldwide, and the outbreak of the virus throughout the Seattle area and Washington this month. With all the information now available, and in response to the updated guidelines from King County Public Health, we are saddened to share that we will be cancelling our March 28th Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawaii Pink Party.
The Pink Party was to be a fun, festive event, and an important fundraiser for us, but staying safe and taking care of our communities is most important. Whether it’s providing abortion or protecting against a novel virus, the health and safety of our community always comes first. No matter what.
Your support is more critical than ever now. The Pink Party is responsible for raising nearly 50 percent of the annual budget for Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawaii. In the face of unconscionable attacks on sexual and reproductive health from this federal administration, we are partnering across our six states and fighting back for vital health services—that will always include high-quality, accessible abortion care. We make this promise to you today and every day. Please help us reach our goal of raising nearly $500,000 by making a donation now .

WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER
· The Pink Party is Planned Parenthood Votes’ largest fundraiser of the year, accounting for almost 50 percent of our annual budget. These funds help ensure that the advocacy team can continue to fight against inaccurate sex education, transphobic legislation, abortion bans, family planning cuts, and more – especially in this critical year.
· This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the June Medical Services case, challenging a Louisiana abortion restriction. This case could render Roe v. Wade meaningless and will gut our rights in a few short months.
· Your gift to PPVNH can DOUBLE its impact thanks to a generous group of supporters who have agreed to MATCH ALL DONATIONS to Planned Parenthood Votes until March 28, 2020 -- the date we would have come together for the Pink Party.
· Big Pink Energy! We must come together to defend the rights of our patients who need compassionate, nonjudgmental care. All donations of $250 or more will receive a limited edition Planned Parenthood Votes tote bag (limited quantities available).

WHAT'S NEXT
You are the reason that Planned Parenthood’s doors are open in communities across the country-including restoring access to abortion in Kentucky earlier this month. Planned Parenthood is strong because you are strong. Keep Planned Parenthood strong for the people who need us, and for the challenges that lie ahead.
While we won’t be able to gather in person, we hope that you’ll join us *online* for a series of events designed to inform you about our plans for the coming year. Stay tuned in the next few days for more information.
