Voices of Courage
Read and Share Your Story
Our stories show the real-life harm that the Trump-Pence administration, Congress, state restrictions, and religious refusals have on people across the country.
We will share stories until our bodies, families, and communities are safe.
Stories are true as remembered by the storyteller.
Your story can be about any other topic related to reproductive health:
- Birth control, whether for preventing pregnancy or for menstruation and PMS management
- Abortion care
- Preventive care, like breast and cervical cancer screenings or annual well-woman exams
- STI treatments
- Prenatal and maternity care
- Sexual health information and education
- Adolescent health
- LGBTQ health issues
Tell us your stories good and bad, whether:
- You successfully provided or received care that you needed
- You or a patient were unable to get care because of legislative, economic, or geographic barriers
Thank you for being a Voice of Courage.
