When Planned Parenthood of Greater New York recently announced that it planned to sell the landmarked building out of which it operates its only Manhattan clinic, employees were not surprised. One staffer knew offloading the property was a possibility after management told the team about mounting financial challenges last year. The organization had closed multiple clinics, including the Staten Island health center, in the fall, along with three other locations upstate. But the staffer says shuttering the Manhattan clinic, a hub for both health care and activism, feels like “terrible optics” at the start of Trump’s second term — even as she admits the organization doesn’t need multiple floors of office space now that virtual work is so common. “It just feels like we are waving a white flag. ‘Here, take this building and make it into condos for millionaires,’” she said. “Much like everything else right now, it’s like everybody’s lost their fight.”
