Gemma, Northest PA

Sarah W and I are going into the last week of our internship in Northeastern PA. This summer went by so fast! We’re both really excited to be tabling NEPA Pridefest this Sunday. We haven’t been able to table an event yet, so I think this is going to be a great experience. We’ve still been having some challenges with our ability to go out and canvass (namely the weather). It’s been so frustrating to go to a turf and knock on doors for about an hour and then have it start raining. Other than that, Sarah and I have had fun and it has definitely been a great experience. I will miss having conversations at someone’s door about comprehensive sex ed and hearing a person’s story about why they support the issue. It’s really exciting to know that there are so many supporters out there and that people appreciate and are positively affected by the work Planned Parenthood does. It has been a challenging and very rewarding experience.
