Planned Parenthood volunteer Kylie Hunter, from Costa Mesa, helps place a banner on a fence outside of the stalled Planned Parenthood facility at the corner of Sierra and San Bernardino Avenues in Fontana on Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024. Volunteers with Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties also tied 2,000 pink ribbons on the fence around the site of the stalled Planned Parenthood health center as the <a href=organization launched a campaign against the Fontana City Council’s decision to block construction of the center. Organizers say each ribbon represents a Fontana patient who could have received care this month but didn’t because the Fontana City Council stalled and then blocked PPOSBC’s health center.
