The late Margaret Sanger gained worldwide attention as founder of the American birth-control movement, Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She developed family planning efforts throughout the international community.

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains has followed in Sanger’s footsteps, helping women, men and teens make choices about reproduction for more than 85 years.

Individuals have followed in Sanger’s footsteps, too, including her grandson, Alexander Sanger, who served as president of Planned Parenthood of New York City and its international arm, The Margaret Sanger Center International, from 1991 to 2000.
