Let's get this data out there! Posting starts at 2pm EST, but you can post these anytime today using #WorldContraceptionDay and #FreeThePill.

Use this toolkit to download the graphics and to see ideas on what to say. Or you can post these three graphics in this exact order, with this exact language if you want! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reply to this email.

Thank you so much,
