Planned Parenthood Empire State Acts

What Planned Parenthood Empire State Acts does

Planned Parenthood Empire State Acts (PPESA) is an independent, non-partisan, 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that serves as the designated state-level advocacy and political arm representing Planned Parenthood in New York State. The organization is headquartered at 69 State Street, Suite 800A, in Albany, New York, with 1-10 employees, and operates in coordination with Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and Planned Parenthood Action Fund Inc. PPESA's functional purpose is legislative advocacy and political engagement on reproductive health policy — it does not deliver clinical services, sell products, or operate any proprietary technology platform. Its activities center on publishing legislative scorecards, mobilizing supporters to contact legislators, running issue campaigns, organizing community events, and engaging in coalition work with partner organizations across the state.

PPESA's go-to-market is community-led advocacy: it mobilizes New York State residents through social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky), website content, email action alerts, and an online donation platform processed through the national Planned Parenthood Action system. Its customer segment is geographically defined as New Yorkers who support reproductive freedom and access to sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion care, gender-affirming care, birth control, and sexual health services. The organization does not sell products or services and has no commercial pricing model; its revenue model is donor-funded, with donations described as recurring/subscription in nature and processed through the broader Planned Parenthood Action donation infrastructure.

The organization has no disclosed proprietary technology, no AI or ML capabilities, and no products or services in the commercial sense. Its core "outputs" are policy outcomes — most recently the passage through both chambers of the New York State Legislature of the New York Health Information Privacy Act, the Protect Access to Medication Abortion bill, and the Prohibiting the Use of Restraints on People Who are Pregnant bill. PPESA's primary stated focus is defending access to reproductive health services in New York against federal-level threats and advancing state-level protections, including Medicaid funding backfill, Reproductive Freedom and Equity Program funding, and medication abortion access.
