Stand Up for Women Around the Globe
In the developing world, over 222 million women would like to plan their family size but aren’t currently using a modern contraceptive method. The lack of access, education, or power to make these decisions hurts women and their communities.
With a substantial investment in international family planning from the United States, our country would make major strides in our collective future and for the environment.
Tell Congress to increase universal access to voluntary family planning and reproductive health services!
Dear [Decision Maker],
In the developing world, over 222 million women would like to plan their family size but aren't currently using a modern contraceptive method. The lack of access, education, or power to make these decisions hurts women and their communities.
Combined with the social and political factors that contribute to this unmet need -- like the overuse of resources in developed countries -- an inability to plan for one's family and future also contributes to resource depletion, social instability, and maternal and child death.

The U.S. needs to contribute its fair share in righting the wrongs of unequal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare by investing $1 billion in international family planning each year. It is a sound investment for our collective future and for the environment.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
