At just 16, Deja Foxx made national headlines when she boldly challenged then-Senator Jeff Flake on his stance on Planned Parenthood funding. Her courageous action at a town hall meeting conveyed her deep commitment to ensuring access to reproductive health care for all, especially for low-income women. That moment marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that has led to Deja becoming one of the most influential young activists of our time.
Deja's connection to Planned Parenthood goes beyond that viral moment. Growing up in a low-income community, she experienced firsthand the challenges of accessing health care. Planned Parenthood became a vital resource for her, providing the care and support she needed. This personal experience fueled her passion for advocating on behalf of others who rely on Planned Parenthood's services.
As a passionate advocate for reproductive rights, Deja has continued to use her platform to speak out on issues that matter. She became a digital strategist for Kamala Harris's 2020 presidential campaign, bringing her voice and perspective to the national political stage. Through her initiative, "GenZ Girl Gang," Deja empowers young women to take action on issues they care about, from education and social justice to gender equality and reproductive rights.
