Right now, hundreds of activists are flooding the internet with a powerful message: Everyone around the world deserves access to reproductive health care.
Will you join them by sending a letter to your members of Congress too?
While everyone here in the United States is rightly focused on our own public health crisis, we cannot turn a blind eye to the ongoing crisis caused around the world by Donald Trump.
Trump's Global Gag Rule has caused clinics in developing countries to lose about $153 million in funding. Many health care providers have cut back services, laid off staff, and even shut their doors.
Reproductive health care is always critical, and cutting these essential services during a global pandemic compounds the suffering that many are experiencing.
To make matters worse, the Trump administration has blocked all funding for UNFPA, an international agency that supports family planning and reproductive health programs in more than 150 countries, and is a frontline provider for disaster relief.
Donald Trump's policies are catastrophically impacting some of the most vulnerable people in the world. We must speak out.
Take action now: Email your legislators and demand access to comprehensive reproductive health care for all.
To ensure the safety of our community during the COVID-19 outbreak, we went completely digital with our annual Capitol Hill Days weekend:
- Friday we held a kickoff call with activists and prepped them on how to make the biggest impact.
- All weekend, on social media, reproductive health experts shared videos about the impact of Trump's policies.
- Today, we're flooding Congress with emails, calls, and tweets demanding people around the world have access to the health care they deserve.
This is your chance to join in. Send a quick message to Congress now >>
Thank you for helping us keep up the pressure on this critical issue now, and always.
