How You Can Help

 
Access Denied - U.S. Restrictions on International Family Planning
impacts on affected countries

For policymakers:

  • Support international family planning funding without restrictive amendments.
  • Become active by sponsoring legislation, holding hearings, circulating "Dear Colleague" letters, and utilizing "one minute" talks on the floor of Congress in support of international family planning.
  • Travel to see for yourself what U.S. funding and policies do around the world.

 

For the media:

  • Devote more resources to reporting on the impact of harmful policies, such as the Global Gag Rule.
  • Editorialize in support of efforts to overturn damaging restrictions on international family planning assistance.

 

For activists:

  • Organize a screening of Access Denied in your community.
  • Join an electronic mailing list to learn more about the Gag Rule Impact Project partners' activities and how you can get involved.
