Nicole Moore filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging the working conditions are 'so intolerable' that Black employees 'are effectively forced to leave.”
Moore joined the family planning organization in January 2020. Her lawsuit alleges that Planned Parenthood “has blatantly ignored reports by dozens of its Black employees of systemic unequal hiring and promotion, more work for lower pay, overt hostility, and trafficking in stereotypes by leadership.
Moore alleges her time at Planned Parenthood resulted in “severe anxiety, persistent insomnia, loss of appetite, and periods of dizziness and shortness of breath.” Moore says she’s currently undergoing psychotherapy. After being put on a personal improvement plan in September, Moore was fired in October 2021. In the lawsuit, a union representative said the firing was the “coldest termination [he had] ever witnessed.”Planned Parenthood said it “strongly” disagrees with the lawsuit’s allegations.
top priority for our dedicated staff is building a culture of diversity across the organization to fulfill our mission of reproductive health for all. Our staff is at the core of who we are and we work everyday to ensure a safe and welcoming environment. We strongly dispute the plaintiff’s allegations against the organization and categorically deny her claims of discrimination,” Manning said in a statement to Jezebel.
“Planned Parenthood will vigorously defend against this suit, and welcomes the opportunity to share the complete picture.” Buried deep in the lawsuit is Moore’s experience with alopecia starting in January 2022. The hair loss is a result of her stressful work environment, she contends. “In April [2022], she saw a professional hair stylist, who told her that she could see signs of alopecia and informed her that hair loss usually results from stressful times that occurred 2-4 months before the loss started showing. Some of the loss appears to be irreversible,” the lawsuit states.
