We call on all those working for sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ), universal access to health care, reproductive justice, and broader social justice to join us — organize events, publish information, and mobilize collectively for May 28.
Campaign actions you can take
Here are some campaign actions you can try:
01 · Mobilize & organize
Activate your community
Host community dialogues, teach-ins, forums, marches, vigils, and solidarity actions. Facilitate SRHRJ workshops for youth, Indigenous peoples, and LGBTQIA+ communities and create spaces for intergenerational exchange on lived experiences.
02 · Collective reflection
Name the gaps, build the tools
Create spaces for collective reflection on what is missing in current health systems. Support participatory processes that translate reflections into shared accountability tools surfacing systemic gaps in policy, financing, and service delivery.
03 · Speak out
Amplify demands rooted in reality
Write open letters, manifestos, or position papers. Publish blogs, op-eds, or zines based on lived experiences. Co-create infographics, posters, and explainer videos. Translate messages into local languages.
04 · Lobby & advocate
Push for policy change
Engage government officials and institutions to push for the protection and advancement of SRHR. Submit petitions and policy briefs. Meet with legislators or local health offices. Demand increased SRHR funding.
05 · Bust the stigma
Challenge harmful myths & norms
Lead stigma-busting workshops and community dialogues that debunk harmful myths surrounding abortion, menstruation, and sexuality. Unapologetically share abortion stories and amplify storytellers as subject matter experts.
06 · Occupy online spaces
