National Call-In Day for Sex Education
|
Dear Paul,
We've teamed up with Choice USA, SIECUS, Advocates for Youth, and Catholics for Choice for a National Call-In Day on Wednesday, October 28th.
Join thousands of young people across the country demanding the era of abstinence-only education is done for good. Consider planning events around the call-in day...table with your cell phone or launch a twitter campaign encouraging friends to make phone calls too!
Here's what you do:
- Call 888-423-5983 to reach the Capitol Switchboard
- Give the operator the name of your Senator, or tell them what state you're from and you will be connected to that Senator's office
- Ask to speak to the Senator's aide that handles health issues
- Give your name and deliver this important message: NO MORE MONEY FOR ABSTINENCE ONLY PROGRAMS, especially in health care reform, FUND COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION
- Call 888-423-5983 and ask to speak to your other Senator's office and give the same message
Let us know what you've got in the works so we can help publicize events you plan. Visit our website for more information about faith, spirituality, comprehensive sex education, and this exciting collaboration.
Cheers,
Emily
