== Welcome to GreenPRO==


'''Source File''': http://webapps.phila.gov/council/attachments/3875.pdf
GreenPRO, a project of the [[Green Institute]], is an online database which lists local legislation that is congruent with Green values. Unlike numerous other web sites, we don't offer analysis and summaries of the legislation, but the wording of the legislation itself along with other pertinent information, including a link to the original source. In time, we hope to offer interesting background information for many of the entries listed in our database. There are literally hundreds of entries and the database is growing all the time!!

This product is in the alpha testing phase. Please bear with us and let us know if you have any problems or suggestions.


'''Resolution No. 070551'''<br>
===Our Purpose===
Urging Philadelphia to adopt status as a Pro-Choice City.


'''WHEREAS''', The City of Philadelphia acknowledges being a supporter and advocate for the advancement of women’s rights and equality, and in particular the women’s reproductive rights and freedom; and
GreenPRO was developed for use by all sorts of people.  Whether you're a progressive elected official, an activist or a concerned citizen, GreenPRO lets you know how other communities are dealing with many of the key public policy issues of yesterday, today and tomorrow.  If you're working to craft similar legislation for your local community OR you just want to get an idea of what might be possible, you can copy and paste the text from legislation from other locales and modify it to your own needs.


'''WHEREAS''', The City needs to pride itself on being recognized as one of the cities to officially express it support for a woman’s right to choose; and
GreenPRO is also an excellent reference source for students of all ages!  Whether you're studying public policy administration, urban planning, or any of a wide array of topics, GreenPRO will save you time and energy.  Rather than spend hours and hours trying to locate source material, you will find much of what you're looking for right here, right now.


'''WHEREAS''', It is more critical than ever to make a unified nationwide stand for access to reproductive health care; and
===How To Use This Site:===

'''WHEREAS''', Being a pro-choice city means encouraging the expansion of all forms of reproductive health care, including prenatal care, gynecological care, education and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, and reproductive cancers; and
'''2) Google Maps'''
: Are you a ''visual'' person? Do you want to see what kinds of Green legislation and programs have been introduced and/or passed in your locale?  You can search by [[Map cities|Cities]], [[Map counties|Counties]] and [[Map education|Educational Institutions]].


'''WHEREAS''', Being a pro-choice city means defending the right to choose a legal and safe abortion as a final but critical option for women; part of a comprehensive set of reproductive rights that emphasizes the ability of the individual to make informed decisions from a range of reproductive choices and the ultimate control of the individual over her own body and her own life; now, therefore

[[Category:Pennsylvania]]
:As we continue to develop the various capabilities of GreenPRO, it is our intent to provide you with more background information in the form of summaries, analyses, news article, interviews and first person narratives.
[[Category:Resolutions]]
:To know whether or not any given entry possesses background information, all you need to identify is the color of the tab.  If the tab has blue lettering, then the entry <u>does</u> include background information.  If the tab has red lettering, it means that it does NOT include background information...yet.
