Meet Letitia James, Public Advocate in New York City and fan of Hillary Clinton who helped New Yorkers get a jump on Valentine’s day by handing out Planned Parenthood branded condoms to commuters.
For real:
“Do you want to have sex this weekend?” Ms. James asked commuters. https://t.co/VT0pwQNZjR #ValentinesDay

Here she is handing them out, shouting, “Save sex, everyone! Planned Parenthood! Valentine’s weekend!”

And they are available in different colors, too:

She also handed out special “safer-sex” kits from Planned Parenthood that included “male condoms, female condoms, dental dams, lubricant, and information about local health centers.”
In about an hour, @TishJames and crew handed out 450 condoms. Gonna be quite a weekend, NYC.

Hillary Clinton gave a shout out to Ms. James earlier this week over on Twitter:
In 2014, Public Advocate @TishJames became the first woman of color to hold citywide office in New York City. pic.twitter.com/k5tPj2NNnY

Thankfully Planned Parenthood still gets taxpayer money so they can provide such a vital service on a busy holiday weekend.
Thanks to all who helped pass out condoms and info on safe sex at Union Square today. Have a safe Valentine's Day! pic.twitter.com/l0MpzHgoUT
