Amazing Rally on Saturday!

We had an amazing turnout of about 1500 people on Saturday at our Albany offices for the Rally for Reproductive Justice!  We heard from lots of people like UHPP CEO Chelly Hegan, Mayor Kathy Sheehan, Congressman Paul Tonko, Assemblymember Pat Fahy, students, activists, people of all ages, races, and orientation. The organizers all did a wonderful job and deserve our gratitude. Folks hand-knitted many hats and scarves, and collected donations for UHPP in exchange for them.  It truly was a beautiful collective of individuals, and one message was heard loud and clear: New Yorkers demand funding for Planned Parenthood!

Special thanks to Sean McLaughlin for donating his time to be DJ, and thanks to Christopher Wilber for the following photos.
