John,
Do any of the following campaigns sound exciting to you?
- Bring birth control pills over-the-counter, without an age restriction
- End shame and stigma around abortion
- Support survivors of sexual assault to lead the fight to end gender-based violence in their schools
- Provide safe and supportive environments for LGBTQ people of color
- Combat racism, anti-Muslim hate, homophobia, and transphobia
- Increase HIV testing and condom availability
- Fight for comprehensive sex ed in your state and school district, and mobilize your peers around international family planning issues
Well, applications are only open until Sunday! Join our youth organizing programs for the 2021-2022 school year, and be part of a group of 130 youth activists aged 14-24 who receive training, support, and stipends to organize for reproductive justice in their community! Those accepted will receive in-depth training at our virtual Youth Activist Institute in September, and then begin a life-changing experience networking with youth activists and building organizing skills.
In solidarity,
The Youth Activist Network at Advocates for Youth
P.S. - if you're not ages 14-24, can you forward this email to someone you think would be a good fit? Or to an organization who works with young people? We need everyone to do their part to help us build this incredible group!
Plus, we find that most of the people we accept were told to apply by a trusted adult, mentor or friend. So send this to someone you think is a rising star today.
