NCJW's Campaign for Contraceptive Access

Plan A: NCJW's Campaign for Contraceptive Access educates and empowers individuals to advocate for women's universal access to contraceptive information and health services.

Through a combination of education and advocacy initiatives at the community, state, and national levels, Plan A aims to secure and protect access to contraceptive information and health services for all, putting individuals back in control of their personal health decisions.

In the United States, there is overwhelming popular support for comprehensive sexuality education and there is widespread use of contraceptives. However, an extreme religious minority is increasingly influencing policy and practices -- spreading misinformation, blocking women's access, and signaling that access to complete and accurate information and to safe and effective contraceptive options can no longer be taken for granted. Plan A is poised to help individuals and groups stand up and speak out.

June 7, 2008 marked the one year anniversary of the Plan A campaign. NCJW sections and Plan A advocates across the country have spent the past year engaging in this community-based grassroots campaign by:

• Ensuring pharmacies in their area stock emergency contraception
• Asking local school boards to require comprehensive sex ed programs
• Advocating for affordable contraception on college campuses
• And so much more

Yet, there remains much to be done in the fight for comprehensive, confidential, and accessible family planning.
