This is a pivotal moment — the FDA has finally scheduled a formal hearing on whether to approve the first over-the-counter birth control pill and they need to hear from you this month!

The FDA Advisory Committee is accepting written testimony on why consumers (that means you!) want a birth control pill to be available over-the-counter, without a prescription, and accessible for people of all ages. The more written comments, the stronger our case is!

You go to the drugstore to get cold medicine, condoms, Plan B, Tylenol, and you should be able to get birth control pills too. Help us join over 100 other nations with over-the-counter birth control today.

What you can do: Host a testimony writing party! Sure, you can write a single piece of testimony yourself, but why not double, triple, or quadruple your impact by asking your friends to do it too? It can be a small thing in your dorm room, a big event with a club or student group, or a 2020-style zoom party! We’ll provide a guide with suggestions to make it easy, but the testimony needs to be written by you and your community, in your own words.

Those who sign up for this campaign will receive:

• A toolkit with instructions on how to host your very own testimony writing party
• A toolkit with instructions on submitting written testimony
• Funds to reimburse the cost of party materials (food, snacks, games to make it extra fun, etc.). NOTE: This is a time-sensitive request and we need you to host a testimony writing party ASAP. So funds will be provided afterwards to reimburse you.

This year, we learned how the prescription-only system for birth control pills hurts young people, and limits their access to life-changing contraception. Let’s tell the FDA to change that!

Time is of the essence, so sign up to host a testimony writing party today. You can figure out the date and the details later!
