Safe Healthy Strong Conference 2020

Planned Parenthood of WI presents our 9th year of learning and networking, at the Safe Healthy Strong (SHS) conference! Dedicated to improving health outcomes by building professional competency around issues of sexuality and reproductive health for service providers and educators.

The conference explores innovative methods of communication, inclusive resources, social and reproductive justice, and the way systematic changes can impact the communities we serve!

Two conference days feature six workshop sessions, affinity group discussion, networking opportunities, resource vendors and content presented in English and Spanish. An additional Full-day Intensive Learning Session on Racial Equity takes place in advance of the main conference days, to allow participants to explore how systems of oppression are present in the work of health care and sex education and how we can all do our part to dismantle them.
​
​Full conference schedule, session descriptions and travel information can be found at the PPWI.org website: www.ppwi.org/SafeHealthyStrong

Press Conference

Join us for a press conference announcing that the Cassandra Devereaux for State Assembly District 14 Calls for State Receivership of Vallejo Police Department!
Cassandra wants to uplift the struggles of local community organizations in her campaign, especially that of the families of victims of police terror in Vallejo. That’s why the press conference is being held at the Vallejo PD. She is calling for the Vallejo PD to be placed under state receivership.

Other key issues her campaign is highlighting include:
Abolish ICE: ” Our communities must be sanctuary spaces for undocumented people. True sanctuary spaces are those that are free from deportations, policing, surveillance, and detention”
Housing is a Human Right: “As Concord has achieved only 2% of its state mandated affordable housing goals, the Concord Naval Weapons Station should be developed exclusively with affordable housing, not offices, shopping and market rate housing. However, because we cannot build our way out of this crisis, we must end the practice of corporations and financial institutions manipulating housing markets by holding abandoned and foreclosed properties vacant. As the state of houselessness in the Bay Area constitutes a humanitarian crisis, these empty properties must be requisitioned under emergency powers to house all houseless people.”
PG&E: “PG&E’s power monopoly has proven to be a disaster, with lethal consequences including pipeline explosions and wildfires, we must return PG&E to community ownership and control.”
Prioritize Education: “We must return to the policy of free state college tuition for all and cancel current student debt. End charter schools, keep profit out of our education system.Teachers deserve fair pay, which enables them to live in the communities where they work.”
Medical Care: “MediCal for all to provide quality physical and mental health care for everyone, regardless of citizenship or documentation status.”

Cassandra says: “I believe that with solidarity among poor, working, and oppressed people we will chart our own course into a better world.”

No War on Iran – Global Day of Protest

12 NOON – 2 P.M., State Capitol, Madison

Thank you to everybody who came out to protest US military occupation in the Middle East on January 4th! But that was only the beginning. We do not want to lose momentum now! The anti-war, anti-imperialist movement in the United States needs to show Washington DC that we are serious about preventing another genocidal invasion – this time in Iran. Please join us on the State St. corner of the Wisconsin State Capitol building to say it again: NO WAR ON IRAN!
