It takes all of us to sustain the fight against those working to take away our sexual and reproductive rights. Below are some ways you can join the fight.
It takes all of us to sustain the fight against those working to take away our sexual and reproductive rights. Below are some ways you can join the fight.
First and foremost, follow the National Partnership for Women and Families on Instagram and X.
Share your story about how having affordable health insurance with premium tax credits has helped you access healthcare. Contact your member of Congress and tell them to etend the premium tax credits. You can also tell your member of Congress to support telehealth, (particularly for reproductive health care), which will also help strengthen access to care in rural areas. You can call the Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Raise awareness in your local community. You can spread awareness by sharing the National Partnership for Women and Families Hospital Hitlist. Call on your state representatives to pass or strengthen state shield laws, which protect providers from legal action if they mail medication abortion out-of-state. You can also urge states to maintain post-partum coverage up to 12 months.
Support abortion funds, especially as people have to travel over state lines for care.

You can never contact your representatives too many times. The legislation and policies that congress sponsors has a direct impact on our sexual and reproductive health and rights both in the United States and abroad. Here are a few ways you can get in contact with your representatives to make your voice heard.
Send a letter to your representative's Washington D.C. and state office (you can find addresses on their websites).
Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and get connected with your senators or representatives.
Follow your senators or representatives on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter so you can easily reach them.
Whether a one time or monthly contribution, you have the capacity to support us in informing and activating all who care about sexual and reproductive health and rights. Together, we can stop the assault on our basic human rights.
