UNFPA provides critical health services in over 150 countries, including family planning, pre & post natal care, and HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention. U.S. support for UNFPA over the last 45 years has embodied what remains true today: investing in the health and rights of girls and women – and empowering them to plan their families and their futures – yields direct returns to the U.S.

Call your Senators and Representatives and let them know how important funding for UNFPA really is! Write a letter or call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.

Attacking abortion access won’t make abortion disappear, but it will make the procedure unsafe, put women’s lives at risk, and cause extreme health disparities.

Contact your federal and state legislators! 20-week abortion bans and Heartbeat bans often appear at the federal level, but legislation surrounding admitting privileges and TRAP laws are state-based. To contact Congress, call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 or write a letter.
