Katy Young Yaroslavsky announced that she has earned the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project Los Angeles County (PPAP) in her race for the Los Angeles City Council.

“At a time when women’s autonomy over their own bodies is on the brink of being stripped, we need champions on the City Council who are unequivocally committed to using all the tools at their disposal to protect women and girls and that’s why we’re proud to endorse Yaroslavsky,” said Celinda Vazquez, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project Los Angeles County Action Fund (PPAP). “Katy has a track record of working tirelessly to ensure reproductive health care is accessible to all Angelenos, and she is the champion we need fighting for access to safe and legal abortion on the Los Angeles City Council.

Katy Young Yaroslavsky is a policymaker with a long track record of advocating for women and girls and is committed to ensuring everyone has access to reproductive healthcare, regardless of where they live or their ability to pay. Council District 5 hasn’t been represented by a woman since 1965 and, in this crucial moment in our nation and city’s history, we need experienced leaders like Katy in seats of power to ensure all women and girls are protected no matter what happens at the Supreme Court.

Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project joins the National Women’s Political Caucus, Moms in Office, the Heart of LA Democratic Club, Congresswoman Karen Bass, LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, and hundreds of community leaders in endorsing Katy’s campaign.
