Hi John,

Young people should be able to buy birth control pills right off the shelf at CVS or Walgreens — just like they can buy condoms and Plan B now.
 
So what do young people, advocates, and the providers who serve adolescents think about over-the-counter access to birth control pills? How will that change improve access for people of all ages?

• Join us this Monday, January 31 from 3-4:30 pm ET for a webinar, featuring four advocates (including one of our superstars from the #FreeThePill youth council!) who will highlight young peoples’ experiences with birth control pills, the unique barriers that they face to getting the care they need, and the progress that still needs to be made to support their reproductive autonomy.

RSVP here to learn more about the youth-driven activism happening across the country to expand access to and coverage of affordably priced birth control pills, and ultimately bring them over the counter without an age restriction.

We are closer than ever to having an over-the-counter (OTC) birth control pill option in the United States. This will greatly expand access to young people who experience unique barriers to contraceptive access.

And don’t forget to share this invite with a friend who is interested in learning why young people deserve access to birth control pills over-the-counter!

Hope to see you there,

Angela Maske
Strategic Projects Coordinator
