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!

It was wonderful to have around 100 community members interested in getting comprehensive sex education in NYC schools!
On behalf of everyone at the Sex Ed Alliance of New York City, thank you for joining us last night at “Sex Education in the City”! It was wonderful to come together to learn about the current state of sexuality education and what we can all do to ensure that NYC’s young people receive the comprehensive, age-appropriate information they need to make healthy decisions.
We look forward to working with you all in support of comprehensive sexuality education!
In solidarity,
Sex Ed Alliance of New York City
