As 2026 legislative sessions approach, advocates need clear analysis and early warning of emerging trends.
The 2026 SIECUS Legislative Look-Ahead provides a data-driven overview of where sex education policy is headed — and what’s at stake for young people nationwide.
Quality sex ed keeps us all safe by ensuring everyone has access to the information they need to navigate pregnancy and childbirth. See resources below:

That is a choice. We put motherhood on a pedestal while making it unsafe to pursue pregnancy and untenable to raise children for many.

At some point we decided that having the highest rate of maternal mortality among developed nations was acceptable, and that denying care, even when it is life-saving, is the consequence of being able to give birth. We can do better.

On this #Roe anniversary, we’re reminded that legal rights alone were never enough. True reproductive freedom means access to care without shame, delay, or political interference — no matter where you live or how much you earn.

As advocates for sex education, we recognize that overwhelmingly popularity alone will not protect our rights. We must be bolder, louder, and more invested in community than ever.

SIECUS was founded July 1, 1964, the day before the Civil Rights Act was passed, and four years before Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. We've met new challenges over the decades with the wisdom and leadership of community leaders and advocates.

Sex is a mixture of physical, emotional, and personal intimacy. Sex ed is a tool to understand it and make healthy choices. So how did learning the basics get reduced to "teaching p*rn" by the opposition? It all comes back to how we (mis)treat women, gender, and sexuality.

"Growing up in a Chicago suburb, I remember our teachers splitting our fifth-grade class into boy and girl classrooms for health class, reminding us not to tell others what we learned."
Sooah Park cited SIECUS in The Yale Global Health Review.

Sex ed in 2026 must address AI, data, and online stalking.

Like most things, stalking has gone online, posing risks to your image, data, and profile.

We've been thinking a ton about travel this holiday season 🎿 Why should getting away impact your access to basic care?
Over-the-counter birth control is truly a game-changer, but like quality sex ed, access is lagging behind popularity and challenges are mounting.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care.
This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.
It's everything we dreamed of 😍
Drop your sex ed wishlist below 👇
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Whatever option you choose deserves to be respected.
