Ready to make a difference?
Here are three ways to get started:
1. Educate yourself on self-managed abortion
Access to safe abortions and reproductive healthcare is central to gender equity and equality. Self-managed abortions, including medication abortion, offer safe paths forward for abortion access that puts the power back in women’s hands.
Join our partners at USOW for a webinar on self-managed abortion on Wednesday, March 22nd at 6pm ET to learn about the history, science-based facts, current legal landscape, and resources for how you can educate your community about self-managed abortion.

2. 5 year anniversary, March For Our Lives
This week marks the five-year anniversary of the March For Our Lives rally, where millions of young people walked out into the streets to demand an end to the gun violence epidemic.
Join teachers, parents, healthcare providers, young people, and everyone else who dares to dream of a future where we don’t fear for our lives when we enter a school, a movie theater, a concert, or a house of worship to DEMAND elected officials pass comprehensive legislation that will significantly lower the number of people killed by firearms.
3. Child marriage
Globally, every year, at least 12 million girls are married before they reach the age of 18 – and domestically an estimated 297,033 children were married between 2000 and 2018 (mostly minor girls married to adult men).
Watch this provocative “trailer” that uses real stories of girls as young as 15 who were forced to marry older men.
Join the email lists for Girls Not Brides and the National Coalition to End Child Marriage in the United States to learn more about ways you can take action.
