Hi John,
Giving Tuesday is here — and this year underscores the urgent need for support to youth activists. Consider making a gift that will help young people combat prejudice and hostility while we provide crucial resources to push for policies that protect and empower young people.
This Giving Tuesday, donate $50 or more to Advocates for Youth to support young people in creating meaningful change and working for the reproductive and sexual health, rights and justice of young people everywhere.
2024 has been challenging and in the coming year, we are facing a political environment that threatens many of the issues and communities we care deeply about. But young people are ready to fight back, with Advocates for Youth working alongside them.
In 2024 youth activists did incredible work to support reproductive and sexual health, rights, and justice:
-
Alexa, a member of Abortion Out Loud, organized activists on campus and in community to share resources; learn about self-managed abortion, doula work, and reproductive justice; and recommit to ensuring abortion is available and affordable.
-
Sriya worked for more than a year to mobilize her peers to successfully advocate for the passage of the Know Your Period Bill in California. The bill was recently signed into law and will help educate more than one million young people across the state about menstruation.
-
Kaniya, along with hundreds of other activists, disseminated emergency contraception on more than 500 college campuses across the country in the face of abortion bans and restrictions. Kaniya worked with the American University student administration to successfully bring Plan B vending machines to campus, reaching 14,000 young people with this important healthcare product.
These young people offer hope for the future. They are committed to dismantling oppression and building a more just world. By supporting their vision for change, we can help make their aspirations a reality, even in a challenging climate.
Together, Advocates and its pipeline of young leaders will move this country forward, not backward. Make your gift of $50 or more to Advocates for Youth today to ensure youth activists can keep up the fight
Thank you for your support,
Debra Hauser
