In her own words, "growing up on a farm in rural Wisconsin, I learned the value—and power—of community early on. Whether rolling up your sleeves to help a neighbor finish a job, or pulling together a block party, there’s something magical about true community.

As Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s President and CEO, I work with fellow health care system leaders, business leaders, and policymakers to make high-quality healthcare available to every member of the community PPWI serves. Regardless of insurance status. Regardless of income level. Regardless of zip code. My work is rooted in justice, love, and community, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to create the greatest impact possible."

There’s a great quote that they reference that’s actually come up more than once in this podcast series. It’s from Desmond Tutu and the quote is this:

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”

The leaders of the group, Lisa Williams and Cheryl Juech — who are actually real life sisters themselves — joined LuAnn for a terrific discussion on how to take action in your community.

“The thing about hopelessness is, it’s easy to do nothing. Hope means there’s work to do,” said Cheryl Juech, adding, “When the sun rises, so does the hope.”
