WE MAKE PLANNED PARENTHOOD - MAR MONTE RUN
Clinician at PPMM - North Highland
“I became a clinician at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte (PPMM) to stand alongside my patients seeking vulnerable healthcare services. I wanted to work towards destigmatizing sexual and reproductive health, and address the disempowering and paternalistic way this care is often provided, particularly to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ patients like myself. I support unionizing PPMM because we deserve a healthy workplace where the people doing most of the work have a say in what that work looks like.”
Admin Staffer at PPMM - San Jose Central
“I signed my union card because when healthcare workers are valued, we can focus on delivering the best care possible. Strong unions = strong patient care!”
PPMM - Oakland Clinic
“I signed my union card because I got my colleagues’ backs! We all work here because we believe in PPMM’s North Star, but this work is exhausting and demanding, leaving our own needs as employees behind sometimes. Forming a union would allow us to bargain for working conditions and wages that actually sustain our own lives as we continue to play critical roles in sustaining the people we serve.”
Medical Assistant at PPMM - San Jose Central
“I'm so proud to be part of a team that works hard every day to deliver reproductive care to our community. I love the fast environment and staying busy, but lately I feel that my hard work is only rewarded with more patients, more responsibility, and more workload. We shouldn’t have to fight for ourselves on top of advocating for our patients, but right now it’s our only option - it’s time to unionize.
