1 in 3 Campaign: These Are Our Stories

The 1 in 3 campaign is a grassroots movement to start a new conversation about abortion — telling our stories, on our own terms. Together, we can end the stigma women face each and every day and assure access to basic health care. As we tell our stories and support our family and friends as they come forward with theirs, we begin build a culture of compassion, empathy, and support. No one should be made to feel ashamed or alone. It's time for us to come out in support of each other and in support of access to legal and safe abortion care in our communities.

Real Lessons from Real Abstinence-Only Programs

Check out Amplify's video series exploring the ACTUAL content of ACTUAL abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.

To date, the United States has wasted more than $1.5 billion on abstinence-only-until-marriage programs, even though study after study has shown these programs to be ineffective. Worse, abstinence-only programs violate young people's basic rights by intentionally withholding information about condoms and contraception. It's time to stop funding abstinence-only-until-marriage programs once and for all.
