Current and former employees of color at Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America have routinely encountered racism and been relegated to "lower-paying roles," according to a bombshell report published Friday. A former Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington employee said: “I’ve worked at plenty of nonprofits, and I have never been treated so horribly in my life as I was at Planned Parenthood, to the point where I grew very depressed, had a lot of anxiety, and cried in the bathroom almost every day." Planned Parenthood recently removed the name of its eugenicist founder, Margaret Sanger, from one of its clinics and fired one of its executives following claims of racism. Former NARAL employees also indicated that Hogue's organization focused on suburban White women to the detriment of other groups. Both NARAL and Planned Parenthood offered statements to BuzzFeed News and committed to improving diversity at their organizations.
