Some National Sex Education Updates!
Recently, President Obama signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2010 which takes several steps toward properly promoting and funding programs that will improve sexual and reproductive health for young people across the country! At the same time, the current health reform bill contains a dangerous amendment that would provide funding for abstinence-only programs.

Today is National Comprehensive Sex Education Call-In Day!!
Even though Sex Education Month of Action is coming to a close, it isn't too late to get involved. Take Action! Call your local Senator TODAY and ask them to strip the Hatch Amendment!
The Hatch Amendment is an amendment that would have a serious impact on sex education in our classrooms. Voted into the Senate Finance Committee's version of healthcare reform 12-11, the Hatch Amendment lays out a $50 million funding plan to get failed abstinence-only programs back into our classrooms.
Call your Senators today to let them know that we won't allow them to slip funding for failed ab-only programs in to health care reform legislation. Strip the Hatch Amendment!
