IV. Plan A: Hoyas for Reproductive Justice - Speak Out! on Thursday (12:55 - 1:30pm in Red Square)

Plan A: Hoyas for Reproductive Justice is a coalition of students dedicated to changing the way that Georgetown University approaches issues of reproductive justice and choice. At this point, contraception is not available on campus or covered under Georgetown's insurance policy; rape kits are difficult to access from campus; students do not have access to comprehensive sex education; and the administration silences the voices of pro-choice student groups. This is unacceptable. Georgetown prides itself on being a university dedicated to care of the whole person and the promotion of open dialogue, but its policies fail to truly promote these ideals; instead they actively endanger the health of its students, and especially women. Plan A: Hoyas for Reproductive Justice is launching a campaign to encourage Georgetown to change its harmful, policies and provide all students with access to the resources they need to lead healthy lives and engage in thoughtful discourse.

--We're having a Speak Out! on Thursday, 12:55-1:30pm in Red Square. Come for the whole time, or just a few minutes. See the Facebook event.

It's a great way to keep up with HFC news without having to receive an email every week. If you'd like to join the Alumni Listserve, simply reply to this email with "Alumni," and your NetID/email address. Once we make the shift, you'll be among the first to get the new emails.
