Hello Friend,

URGE is kicking off our annual Free the Pill Fest. That means we’re ready to give YOU $$$ for your creative, outside-the-box digital content all about gaining over-the-counter access to birth control. We want your most artistic and unique content ideas around stigma-busting, current barriers to access (particularly economic & social), and how OTC oral contraceptives would improve the lives of young people. URGE is offering funding to young creatives for graphics, videos, and other digital content for #FreeThePillFest to advocate for OTC access to oral contraceptives. 

With the first-ever application for an OTC birth control pill currently under review by the FDA, this year's Free the Pill will give creatives an opportunity to share what having access to an OTC birth control would mean to them.  

Free the Pill Fest will kick off on Tuesday, May 9th in honor of Free the Pill Day, and run through Saturday, May 13th on URGE’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. Follow us ahead of time to make sure you don’t miss out on the content! 

How do I submit a content proposal and receive funding?  

Glad you asked! CLICK HERE to access the application. Any young person residing or attending school in one of our investment states (Alabama, California, Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, or Texas) can apply whether you are officially part of a chapter or not. Applications will close Monday April 24 11:59 PM PST. If you have questions, contact Communications Manager Jen Miller at [email protected].  

We look forward to seeing your proposals! 

In Solidarity,

URGE
