Hey John,

Now more than ever, pressure is building to put birth control pills on the shelves at your local drug store - no prescription needed!

• What's happening now: Some policymakers and members of the media want proof the current system isn't working first — they need to hear real stories about how requiring a doctor's visit and prescription is limiting access to The Pill, one of the safest and most studied medications on the planet.
   
• These stories will be used to build the case for over-the-counter access so we treat birth control pills just like we do condoms, lube, emergency contraception and so much more. Remember, in more than 100 countries, The Pill is available over-the-counter, no prescription needed.

If you've had trouble accessing birth control pills, can you tell us about it in this survey? You may have seen us asking about this before, but we've professionalized and simplified the survey this time and would love your responses. It should only take 4 minutes at the most.

Fill out the 4 minute survey here

All ages are welcome to tell us about your past or current struggles with obtaining birth control pills. Heck, even if you didn't have any issues, share that story too. We need to see the full picture to build a future where anyone can get birth control pills on the shelves at their local CVS or Walgreens without a prescription.

We're sharing this far and wide, so don't be afraid to send to friends as well!

Thank you so much for being a part of this movement,
