It is a well-known fact that without proper sex education, teenage pregnancy rates soar. Comprehensive and inclusive sex education enables young people to understand their options and pursue their educational goals, among a host of other advantages. @19thsnews.org

This fight isn’t just about politics. It’s about control — of your body, your education, and your future. 🎥 Persistent Lies pulls back the curtain on the lies and strategies being used to attack sex education and birth control. #BirthControl

📺The Truth About Birth Control Myths dives into the specifics of myths and misinformation about contraception. youtu.be/Q-8zMRgPygI #BirthControl

Quality sex education is a commitment to ending violence against marginalized people and empowering survivors. Transgender women, particularly Black transgender women, face disproportionate fatal violence.

Your zip code shouldn't determine your sexual health outcomes 🙅 Earlier this month, SIECUS released our brand new Sexual Health in the States: A Policy Heat Map Series, so you know where your state stands on a variety of subjects🧠 siecus.org/siecus-heat-... #Health #SexualHealth

In some states, students learn about consent and healthy relationships. In others, they get "Baby Olivia."

A win for truth, inclusion, and every young person. The HHS Reproductive and Sexual Health Ombuds Act of 2025 will help ensure people nationwide can access trusted reproductive and sexual health information and push back against harmful misinformation. siecus.org/urge-congres...

Here’s the truth: ✔️ Birth control is safe. ✔️ There are many options. ✔️ It’s your right to access it. So why are lawmakers trying to take it away — and censor sex ed that teaches about it? Watch Persistent Lies and see the bigger picture. #BirthControl #Contraception #IUD

"If there is one thing you can do in observance of Transgender Awareness Week this year, it is this: Take a moment to learn about transgender people—not the political talking points, not the legislation, but the real, live humans behind the headlines." www.newsweek.com/the-trevor-p...

Abstinence-only asks you to hide parts of yourself; your identity as a survivor, a gender non-conforming, or LGBTQ+ person may not be welcome. It's giving archaic. It can only see sex and sexuality as a performance to fulfill a predetermined role.

Happy #ThxBirthControl Day! I’m so proud to support this campaign for so long and have loved watching it evolved over the years. Research shows that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for shifting public opinion. Share your birth control story NOW!

Birth control access is POPULAR. The majority of Americans, regardless of political affiliation, agree it should be accessible. Let’s remind policymakers of that! #ThxBirthControl

We’re back in court. Today at 2 pm, oral arguments will be heard in our case challenging the law that seeks to “defund” Planned Parenthood health centers.

New York was among the 10 worst states in SIECUS' 2024 State Profiles, tied with Wisconsin and Oklahoma. Not much has changed in a year, NY went from a D- to a D 🐌 #ReproductiveJustice

Many of us are told a story our whole lives, one where the world has a neat sex and gender binary. This story oppresses intersex people—and to an extent—everyone. This #IntersexAwarenessDay, Sam invites you to disrupt your own ideas of sex and gender. interactadvocates.org/disrupt-the-...

Happy #AceWeek and #IntersexAwarenessDay 🌈 Even in inclusive spaces, some members of the LGBTQIA+ community may have less visibility or feel they are on the outside looking in.

A win for truth, inclusion, and every young person. 🌈 A federal judge has blocked the Trump Administration’s directive that would have forced states to erase all references to “gender ideology” from sex ed programs.

From influencers to lawmakers, it seems like just about everyone has a hand in your pregnancy EXCEPT you 😵‍💫 You deserve to know your options so you can make the best decision between you and your doctor.

Sex ed made coming out a loving experience, not a dreadful one 🥰 Knowing I was safe to be myself at home and school, that my identity was understood, that my feelings were valid and it was okay to ask questions—that changed my life🌈

Abstinence-only is leaving young people in the dark about their bodies. Menstrual health is one of the largest gaps in sex ed with only 4 states requiring instruction on it beyond puberty lessons 🩸 #PeriodActionDay

Abstinence-only has some pretty weird ideas about women and pleasure. Reducing sex to a means to an end for reproduction ignores people with fertility struggles, the emotional and recreational aspects of intimacy, and relationships between same-sex partners.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in a landmark case, Chiles v. Salazar, concerning Colorado’s state law protecting LGBTQ youth from so-called “conversion therapy." Learn more about the case: glaad.org/fact-sheet-l...
