Help Build a Planned Parenthood Clinic in South Dakota
Everyone's heard by now that the state of South Dakota has decided to ban abortions. Hopefully everyone has also heard by now that Cecilia Fire Thunder, president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, has vowed to build a Planned Parenthood clinic on her tribe's reservation.
If you're interested in supporting this effort, here's where you can mail your donation:
Oglala Sioux Tribe
ATTN: President Fire Thunder
P. O. Box 2070
Pine Ridge, SD 57770
OR: and this may be preferred, due to mail volume:
ATTN: PRESIDENT FIRE THUNDER
PO BOX 990
Martin, SD 57751
Enclose a letter voicing your support and explaining the purpose of the donation. Bear in mind, the Pine Ridge Res is not exactly dripping with disposeable income, so do consider donating funds directly to the tribe as well as specifically for this effort....
Make checks out to OST Planned Parenthood Cecelia Fire Thunder. This will ensure that the funds get routed properly.
For email contact, you can contact the president at:
firethunder_president AT NOSPAM yahoo DOT com
cc:vbush AT NOSPAM oglala DOT org
That is Ms. Fire Thunder's personal email address; I have received permission to post it here. For the sake of record keeping, do cc: the listed address on all correspondence; that's her official secretary.

UPDATE: A bit of a reality check from someone who used to work at Planned Parenthood and contacted PP of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. You can still donate to the cause, either to the tribe or to PP. Please do click through and read up.
