FMLAs across the country are rapidly mobilizing support to make Emergency Contraception available Over the Counter through the ECOTC Campaign Petition Drive.
The MARSHALL UNIVERSITY Women’s Studies StudentAssociation, an FMF affiliate, collected 250 EC OTC petitions. Deborah Gallanger, a UCLA FMLA core member, single-handedly collected 265 ECOTC petitions as well as 95 signatures of interest in the FMLA during an anti-war walkout on campus last week.
The DUKE UNIVERSITY FMLA has committed to collecting 500 petitions by March 20 and is planning a “dorm storm” to educate all first year women about EC. They are also producing a brochure describing what EC is and how to access it on campus.
