OkCupid Stands With Planned Parenthood
We’re matching every dollar donated up to $50k—because what’s important to you is important to us
Earlier today, we launched the Planned Parenthood Badge to make it easier for supporters of the non-profit to connect. Every OkCupid member who has publicly responded “no” to the question “Should the government defund Planned Parenthood?” has an #IStandWithPP badge prominently displayed (in pink) on their profile. Now, nearly 200,000 members have the badge, and most importantly, connections between supporters increased by more than four times the daily average. And we feel great about that because, at OkCupid, we’re dedicated to helping people connect over what they care about most.
We’ve been overwhelmed by the support this partnership has received. Although it should be no surprise that people—including activists and celebrities like Chelsea Handler—are committed to standing with Planned Parenthood.
After all, the Planned Parenthood organization provides affordable healthcare to nearly 5 million men, women and children every year, not only in the US but also in developing countries around the world. Planned Parenthood’s services range from sex education in schools to STD testing to guidance on contraceptives. What’s not to love?
As a dating app, it is important to us at OkCupid to support Planned Parenthood, particularly when such a large portion of our community does. So starting right now, we’re going to be matching every dollar donated to Planned Parenthood up to $50,000.
