NOW NYC launches a video/youtube campaign. My Health Matters

http://www.youtube.com/MyHealthMattersNOW

You can make a video and upload it to youtube for the My Health Matters campaign. Talking about how your health or a woman that you care about is important and should not be endangered by government ideological political battles.

for example,

the House voted to defund all family planning for Title X clinics.

HR3 and HR 358 aim to get rid of private insurance funding for abortion

HR 358 expands conscience clause protections so broadly that it would become legal for a hospital todeny life-saving care based on “moral or religious” ground

To sign or not to sign?

here are some petitions. if you are NOT living in California, please sign b/c we need all Senators on board!

But if you are from CA like me, I wonder what is the utility of signing a petition to our Senators in CA, they know that we support them and want them to support reproductive rights. Aren’t we just jamming their inbox?

EMILY’s list

Watch a video of what Senators Mikulski, Cantwell, Gillibrand, Murray, and Boxer had to say — then sign Emily’s List’s petition to show our senators that we have their backs in the fight against the GOP’s anti-woman agenda.

Advocates for Youth’s petition to Senators:

Dear Senators: Young Women’s Health and Lives Are in Your Hands! | Amplify http://bit.ly/fbDxDA
