WHO: National Organization for Women, along with other women's rights activists
WHAT: National Day of Action on Emergency Contraception
WHERE: Outside U.S. Department of Health and Human Service 200 Independence Avenue, S.W. · Washington, D.C. 20201
WHEN: Tuesday, August 30 @ 12:00 pm. Come during your lunch break!
WHY: To demand that emergency contraception (EC) be made available to all women, over the counter and without a prescription NOW! After more than two years of foot-dragging, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has failed women once again! In a report issued today, the FDA demanded more time before announcing a decision to broadening access to "the morning after pill". NOW activists and others who support the health and safety of girls and women will hold a rally outside the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service office to insist that the FDA allow the sale of Emergency Contraception without a prescription. Please come during your lunch break and bring signs!
