DON’T MISS - HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY - this Thursday, December 11th at 6:30 PM to benefit Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood. Tickets are still available on our website and at our box office! 🎟️🎬🙌🏽

A documentary film by Sam Feder & Amy Scholder.

Heightened Scrutiny follows Chase Strangio, ACLU attorney and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court for transgender adolescents’ access to gender-affirming healthcare, confronting not only the legal system but also a media landscape that distorts public perception and threatens the struggle for trans rights. With the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life-saving healthcare, the film is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice.

BREAKING NEWS: Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York said on Thursday that the state would step in to backfill roughly $35 million in lost federal funding for Planned Parenthood after the Trump administration barred clinics that provide abortions from receiving Medicaid payments.

Thank you Governor Hochul!

President Trump’s signature policy bill has barred clinics that provide abortions from receiving any Medicaid payments, putting many at risk of closure.
