Last week our Raiz and LGBTQIA+ Organizing Programs co-hosted a free Sip & Paint event at the Springfield Art Association in partnership with the Springfield Migrant Council, where participants enjoyed craft and conversation.

We chatted about the intersections between continuous attacks on immigrant communities and transgender/queer communities, and several attendees shared words of personal reflection and experience.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! Learn more about what we're up to and how you can get involved in your community at ppiaction.org/takeaction

Birth control misinformation is not cool!

Any time there’s a change in your hormones, there’s a chance of temporary side effects. But after a few months, your body will adjust, and side effects will typically go away. If your birth control helped manage things like heavy periods or acne, you can expect a return to those symptoms after stopping it.

Remember that as soon as you stop your birth control, you’re not protected from pregnancy anymore. You’ll need to use another method, like condoms, to avoid pregnancy. If you’re starting new birth control, you may need to use a backup method until your new one starts working.

Reach out to your provider with any questions about stopping or starting birth control!

All Planned Parenthood of Illinois' Health Centers will close at 2 PM today and will be closed Monday, May 25, 2026 for Memorial Day.

Have a safe weekend!

We want to be clear. Planned Parenthood of Illinois patients continue to have access to the full spectrum of sexual and reproductive health care, including medication abortion with mifepristone, both at health centers across the state and through telehealth.

We are here for our patients and will always make sure you have access to the care you need 💙
