The FMF’s Feminist Majority Leadership Alliances are preparing for an exciting year of education and activism on a range of feminist and pro-choice issues on campus. The FMLA’s and affiliates are united in a national movement through the Feminist Majority Foundation’s Choices campaign. Current Choices initiatives include: 1) GET OUT HER VOTE: Campaign to register and mobilize voters for the 2002 elections, as well as educating about the political power of the gender gap and the youth vote. 2) PRESCRIBE CHOICE AND EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION OVER-THE-COUNTER CAMPAIGNS: Campaigns to improve women’s health services on campus, increase campus availability of emergency contraception and mifepristone, improve health center services for sexual assault survivors, and make emergency contraception available over the counter in the U.S. 3) NEVER GO BACK: Public education about the impending threat to legal abortion and the role of the Supreme Court in affirming or overturning Roe v. Wade. Stay posted–we’ll be mailing out three action kits in September with fact sheets, action ideas, sample letters to the editor, stickers, and more on each of these campaigns. FMLA and affiliates, please update your contact information to receive the mailing at your campus address, http://www.feministcampus.org/useredit.asp. Not on the mailing list?
