Sen. Josh Hawley is talking about Title X – but getting it wrong. So we set the record straight. Title X = essential healthcare. Period. When misinformation spreads, access is on the line. Read the op-ed at the link in our profile.

Missourians are clear: Birth control access matters. New polling from The Right Time found: ➡️85% support access to all birth control methods. ➡️74% support a full year’s supply. ➡️81% support EC access for sexual assault survivors in ERs. People want solutions. Lawmakers should listen. 🔗in bio

ICYMI: Sen. Hawley’s misinformation about Title X is making headlines. Our focus remains the same: protecting MO's repro safety-net & ensuring people can access birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing/treatment + wellness exams. With us? Donate to keep care accessible @ the link in our bio.

ICYMI: Despite all the political noise this week, Title X services are still available across Missouri. Beacon’s provider network continues connecting communities to birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing/treatment, infertility screenings + more. Find care at the link in our bio.

Sen. Hawley spends a lot of time talking about MO's healthcare system from D.C. Beacon has spent 40+ yrs building MO's reproductive health safety-net across the state. Keep care accessible by giving at the link in our bio. 💖

Sen. Hawley got the facts wrong, so let’s clear a few things up: For 40+ years, Beacon has responsibly administered MO's Title X program in compliance with federal law. Title X helps people access birth control, cancer screenings, and more. Help us protect access: BeaconReproHealth.org/donate

Early giving for #GiveSTLDay is now open! This regional day of giving celebrates the nonprofits that make STL an incredible place to work and live. Give here https://bit.ly/4cZtppH#GiveSTLDayor save the date to give and celebrate with us on 5/7!

Replacing Missouri’s income tax with expanded sales taxes would shift more costs onto everyday Missourians while putting essential services at risk. Missourians deserve policies that strengthen communities and invest in the services people rely on. 💛 #MOLeg
