Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest and community partners are working together to protect LGBTQ+ students across Riverside County. Our coalition believes schools should be safe spaces for learning regardless of students’ sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. All youth deserve affirming and inclusive spaces to learn, thrive, and be themselves — free from harmful anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and policies that violate their rights and negatively impact their mental health. Stay up to date on our local activism, and join our efforts!
