Over 250 Celebrities Stand Together for Planned Parenthood in Major New York Times Campaign
In a striking display of solidarity, over 250 celebrities and influencers, including Vice President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff and actor Pedro Pascal, have united to support Planned Parenthood through a full-page advertisement in The New York Times. The ad, which features the phrase "I’m For Planned Parenthood," emphasizes the importance of reproductive healthcare amidst increasing conservative pressures to defund the organization.
The statement, viewable on Planned Parenthood’s website, includes endorsements from a diverse range of popular figures, spanning generations. Notable signatories include Stevie Nicks, George Lopez, British pop star Harry Styles, and indie artist Clairo. The ad articulates key sentiments such as the belief in personal freedom and the need for individuals, rather than the government, to decide their healthcare options.
Laverne Cox, an actor and LGBTQ+ activist, highlighted the importance of Planned Parenthood, stating it provides a supportive environment for queer individuals to access inclusive healthcare. “Trans people need healthcare providers they can trust, just like everyone else,” she expressed in support of the organization’s vital role.
Amid efforts by conservatives—such as House Speaker Mike Johnson’s pledge to defund "big abortion," a term aimed at confronting Planned Parenthood—this powerful coalition of entertainers stands firm in advocating for reproductive rights. Other prominent signatories include Sheryl Crow, Cyndi Lauper, Kerry Washington, and Christina Ricci.
Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson praised the collective effort, noting the irreplaceable role of health centers in ensuring accessible care for all patients. “I applaud these cultural changemakers and everyone across the country who have said, loud and clear: I’m for Planned Parenthood,” she stated, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to comprehensive reproductive health services.
