Summer of HER Culminates With 10 Summits in Battleground States

This summer, 68 fellows from around the U.S. spent 10 weeks with us
gaining the skills needed to be effective field organizers in defense
of reproductive health, rights, and justice. We taught them tactics
for running effective get-out-the-vote campaigns and petition drives,
for using social media for digital organizing, and so much more. Their
work culminated with our second annual HER Summits, held in key
battleground states. Along with Population Connection Action Fund
staff, our newly minted field organizers rallied over 500 new
activists for the #Fight4HER campaign-our joint campaign aimed
at repealing Trump's odious Global Gag Rule forever. Attendees
learned more about the Global HER Act-the legislation needed to
ban the Global Gag Rule-and the current state of global
reproductive health care programs. They now have the necessary tools
to join the fight for international reproductive rights!

World Contraception Day Presentation

September 26 marked the 13th World Contraception Day, a day of action
"to improve awareness of all contraceptive methods available and
enable young people to make informed choices on their sexual and
reproductive health." Stacie Murphy, Population Connection and
Population Connection Action Fund's Director of Congressional
Relations, gave a conference call presentation to Population
Connection and Population Connection Action Fund members, outlining
the current state of U.S. funding for domestic and international
family planning programs, as well as the effects of Trump's
Global Gag Rule on health care providers around the world. She also
discussed our efforts to fight back against this disastrous policy
with Population Connection Action Fund's #Fight4HER campaign.

Population Education's Fall Teaching Theme: Migration

This September and October, Population Education is focusing on human
migration and all the ways it shapes our world. The PopEd team is
providing a wealth of resources teachers can implement in their own
classrooms to explore this timely issue. One such lesson is the middle
and high school activity "People on the Move," which helps
students identify "push/pull" factors for migration.
Elementary school-aged children can learn about how migration has
affected their own families with the lesson "Family
Roots."

Twitter.

Summer Match Challenge Was a Success!

Thanks to the generosity of a trio of dedicated members, Population
Connection was able to double the impact of all gifts made to this
challenge through September 30-all gifts made to Population
Connection were matched with an equal gift to Population Connection
Action Fund. Thousands of members took up the challenge, and
we're excited to report that we surpassed our $205,000 goal!
This campaign will provide the resources to continue our work through
the fall and into 2020-THANK YOU for your ongoing support and
unflagging commitment to our mission!
