Pledge to Defend Birth Control
Pledge to Defend Birth Control and Reproductive Rights:
As a feminist, conscientious citizen, and supporter of human rights, I pledge to fiercely defend birth control and reproductive rights. I recognize these rights as fundamental to individual autonomy, bodily integrity, and gender equality. Therefore, I commit to taking the following actions:
Advocacy: I will actively advocate for policies that ensure access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including affordable and accessible birth control options for all individuals, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location.
Voting: I will vote for candidates who demonstrate a strong commitment to defending birth control and reproductive rights. I will prioritize supporting those who have a proven track record of championing these issues and will not hesitate to withhold my vote from any candidate who fails to uphold these principles.
Education: I will educate myself and others about the importance of birth control and reproductive rights in promoting public health, economic stability, and gender equality. I will engage in respectful dialogue to dispel misinformation and stigma surrounding these topics.
Community Engagement: I will actively participate in community initiatives and organizations that work to expand access to birth control and reproductive healthcare services. I will support efforts to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their own bodies and futures.
Solidarity: I will stand in solidarity with marginalized communities, including people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and low-income individuals, who face disproportionate barriers to accessing reproductive healthcare. I will amplify their voices and support their leadership in the fight for reproductive justice.
By taking this pledge, I affirm my commitment to defending birth control and reproductive rights as essential to a just and liberated society. I recognize that the fight for reproductive justice is ongoing and pledge to remain resilient in the face of opposition until every individual can live with dignity, autonomy, respect, and agency to make decisions about their own bodies and lives. Together with fellow Women's Marchers, I will continue advancing the feminist movement in the U.S., for the future of all.
