Access to EC Denied!

10,000 signatures by March 7!
Help us keep pressure on the FDA!

We are at a pivotal point in the fight to win full access to emergency contraception (EC) for all women, and we need your help!

The Center for Reproductive Rights - a legal advocacy organization that promotes and defends the reproductive rights of women worldwide - recently filed a lawsuit to force the FDA to reverse its decision that restricts young women’s access to Plan B without a prescription.

Today, Advocates for Youth and Choice USA are launching a 10,000 signature petition drive to keep pressure on the FDA. It’s time to make sure that ALL women have access to emergency contraception - not just women 18 and older!

Click here to download the Petition Kit! Collect signatures on your campus and in your community and send them in by fax or mail. We will deliver completed petitions to the FDA later this spring.

Our goal is to obtain 10,000 hard copy signatures by March 7! Together, we can make these three weeks count!

Ask your friends and family to join you in support of unrestricted access to Plan B. Print out a copy of the petition kit and simply mail or fax in the completed petition forms. The more signatures, the stronger we stand!

Download the Petition Kit TODAY! We need your help to pressure the FDA - let’s meet our signature goal by March 7!

Let’s get to work! It’s time to prove to the FDA that all young women deserve equal access to emergency contraception.

Good luck, and let’s get those petitions signed…

Peace,

Mimi Melles
