Sex is a mixture of physical, emotional, and personal intimacy. Sex ed is a tool to understand it and make healthy choices. So how did learning the basics get reduced to "teaching p*rn" by the opposition? It all comes back to how we (mis)treat women, gender, and sexuality.

"Growing up in a Chicago suburb, I remember our teachers splitting our fifth-grade class into boy and girl classrooms for health class, reminding us not to tell others what we learned."

Sooah Park cited SIECUS in The Yale Global Health Review.

We've been thinking a ton about travel this holiday season 🎿 Why should getting away impact your access to basic care?

Over-the-counter birth control is truly a game-changer, but like quality sex ed, access is lagging behind popularity and challenges are mounting.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care.

This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

Today, members of the House will vote on a dangerous bill that will expand government censorship under the guise of protecting youth online.

Tell your representative to protect the First Amendment and vote NO.
Censorship Does Not Keep Kids Safe
KOSA is an alarming bill that would enable censorship and violate young people’s First Amendment right to freely access information. We must call on Congress to act now and protect free speech online.
