2024 Election
This November, take control of your health and rights.
How to Contact Your Members of Congress Directly
Congress represents us — and they need to know that we support sexual and reproductive freedom for all.
Here are our top tactics for getting in front of your U.S. senators and representatives — in person, online, and over the phone.
Key Times to Speak Up to Your Elected Officials
Throughout the year, members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate spend specific weeks in their home state or district. During this “recess,” federal lawmakers head home to answer to voters and meet with constituents.
This is a great time to hold your members of congress accountable for their stance on abortion rights — in person. At parades, festivals, markets, town halls, and other public appearances, it’s time to remind lawmakers and the country: WE WON’T BACK DOWN.

It’s Time To Hold Members of Congress Accountable
The lawmakers pushing bans and restrictions on abortion, birth control, IVF, gender-affirming care, and other basic reproductive health care will stop at nothing to deny patients the care they need. They were never going to stop after overturning Roe v. Wade and eliminating our constitutional right to abortion.
They’ve blocked critical votes on the right to birth control and the right to IVF. They’ve tried to restrict access to contraception and gender-affirming care for people around the country and communities around the world. They’ve supported attacks on medication abortion, including attempts to remove it from the market. They’ve tried to deny access to essential care for veterans and pushed to defund essential health care programs at home and around the world.
But these actions are deeply unpopular, and there are also many politicians working to protect our right to reproductive health care. We must celebrate our wins — and hold elected officials that are attacking our care accountable now.
Abortion bans and the politicians pushing them are out of step with the 80% of Americans who want abortion to be legal.
Abortion and birth control must be protected. Access to essential health services must be restored.
