Friend, I wanted to make sure you saw this email we sent you.
It's so important…

Quick update: Time is running out to tell the Trump Administration that
burning almost $10 million worth of contraception is cruel and wasteful of
taxpayer dollars! The outrageous plan to destroy birth control stems from
Trump’s freeze on foreign aid. Even though organizations have stepped up
and said they would buy these products, the U.S. government has flat out
rejected those offers.  (More details are below).

[ [link removed]- ]We need your voice! Please take a few seconds to sign our letter to
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and urge him to not burn $10 million
worth of contraception! 

The good news? Contraception that U.S. taxpayers already paid for, and
contraception that women desperately need, is still sitting in a warehouse
in Belgium, so it is not too late for the Administration to do the right
thing! 

Take action now! [ [link removed]- ]Tell U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio that these
contraceptives - including IUDs, pills, and implants - should be saving
lives not going up in smoke.

With gratitude,

Dear Friend,

Today is World Contraception Day but instead of celebrating progress, the
Trump Administration is preparing to burn nearly $10 million worth of
perfectly good birth control. Contraception that U.S. taxpayers already
paid for and which women desperately need is currently sitting in a
warehouse in Belgium. [ [link removed]- ]

[1]Tell U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio loud and clear: Destroying
birth control is simply cruel and wasteful. These contraceptives—including
IUDs, pills, and implants—should be saving lives, not going up in smoke.

The outrageous plan to destroy birth control stems from Trump’s freeze on
foreign aid. Even though organizations have stepped up and said they would
buy these products, the U.S. government has flat out rejected those offers
and chose destruction over delivery.

Family planning is lifesaving healthcare. Studies show that destroying
these birth control supplies will cause 362,000 more unintended
pregnancies and over 700 preventable maternal deaths. [ [link removed]- ] Access to
contraception reduces maternal and child mortality and allows women and
girls to pursue educational and economic opportunities. 

[2]Speak out against the destruction of birth control that will save the
lives and health of women and girls. Sign our letter now telling US
Secretary of State Rubio that this is harmful and a waste of taxpayer
dollars. When you click, you’ll automatically sign on if we already have
your information.

In addition to burning almost $10 million worth of contraception, the
administration would also spend $167,000 to pay for the incineration. This
is unconscionable!! And a complete waste of our taxpayer dollars!

When you click, you’ll automatically sign on to our petition that reads:

Dear U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio:

We strongly oppose the plan to destroy almost $10 million dollars worth of
taxpayer-funded birth control. These supplies are safe, effective, and
needed. It is not too late to do the right thing. 

There are numerous offers to buy the supplies (many of which do not expire
until 2031). The Administration must immediately stop the plan to burn
these products.

Family planning is lifesaving healthcare. Studies show destroying it will
cause 362,000 more unintended pregnancies,110,000 more unsafe abortions,
and over 700 more preventable maternal deaths. We urge you to do
everything you can to ensure lifesaving products reach people in need.

Thanks for all you do, 

-Gina, Tina, Monifa, and the whole MomsRising.org & MamásConPoder Team
