Let’s talk about sex. And reproductive rights. And affordable access to healthcare. And body autonomy. And ALL the other things Planned Parenthood stands for.
Join us on August 25 at 7pm for a Catcall Collective meetup at PlantKC (3914 Washington St., Kansas City, Missouri) focused on how to help our local chapter of Planned Parenthood Great Plains. Come for conversation, information on how to get involved, networking with other bad ass feminists, and other Planned Parenthood fundraisers to look forward to. We’ll hear from PlantKC and their upcoming PP fundraiser, Brandon Love of Crumble Co. on why he decided to have his business vehemently support PP, and from other guests to be announced soon.
Catcall back at the patriarchy with us!
