Hi John,

It’s here! Today’s the day we launch #AbortionOutLoud - a new movement of young people fighting to access abortion care. Check out our new campaign page here.

We are thrilled to be launching the campaign alongside young people on 123 campuses and communities across the country who are building a bold and powerful groundswell of youth activism for abortion access. If you think young people deserve equal access to abortion care, can you support #AbortionOutLoud today by taking these actions:

Whether you’re in school, at work, or taking a day to yourself (lucky!), can you post online about what #AbortionOutLoud means to you? Join hundreds of youth activists posting about this today so leaders will see broad public support for abortion access.

Here’s a few examples you can copy/paste or use as inspiration:

While there will be plenty of social media posts this week, the #AbortionOutLoud campaign is excited for everything we’ll be doing in the future to end abortion stigma, expand on-campus abortion access, guarantee insurance coverage for abortion, close fake clinics, end parental notifcation laws, and more. We encourage you to look at our new website here, like our Facebook page here (we’re also on Twitter and Instagram), and sign up for updates here so you can be a part of this new movement!

Onward,

P.S. This is the next phase of our 1 in 3 Campaign, which since 2011 has shifted culture and strengthened support for abortion access through storytelling, plays and direct actions. We’re excited for #AbortionOutLoud to help young people organize, build community power, and ensure youth can access safe abortion care by replicating some of 1 in 3’s most powerful work, and launching new initiatives aimed at groundbreaking policy-change. Thank you for your support over the years to end abortion stigma, remove barriers, and strengthen support for young people’s access to abortion.
