A screenshot of an article in 19th News. The headline reads "The sex ed you get depends on your zip code -- and your state's politics. The subheader reads, "In some states, students learn about consent and healthy relationships. In others, they get "baby olivia", and abstinence-only instruction." Below is a black and white photo of a sex ed class in the shape of the United States.

It is a well-known fact that without proper sex education, teenage pregnancy rates soar. Comprehensive and inclusive sex education enables young people to understand their options and pursue their educational goals, among a host of other advantages. @19thsnews.org

Quality sex education is a commitment to ending violence against marginalized people and empowering survivors. Transgender women, particularly Black transgender women, face disproportionate fatal violence.

Your zip code shouldn't determine your sexual health outcomes 🙅

Here’s the truth:
✔️ Birth control is safe.
✔️ There are many options.
✔️ It’s your right to access it.

So why are lawmakers trying to take it away — and censor sex ed that teaches about it? Watch Persistent Lies and see the bigger picture.

The Trevor Project: It’s Time for Americans To Get Familiar With Transgender People, Not Transgender Politics | Opinion Transgender people are people; and we are all just trying to get through our day—today, and every day—just like anyone else.

"If there is one thing you can do in observance of Transgender Awareness Week this year, it is this: Take a moment to learn about transgender people—not the political talking points, not the legislation, but the real, live humans behind the headlines." www.newsweek.com/the-trevor-p...

Seeing the full picture would mean facing the truth of our diversity. SIECUS celebrates #TransAwarenessWeek because our truth deserves to be told 🏳️‍⚧️

Abstinence-only asks you to hide parts of yourself; your identity as a survivor, a gender non-conforming, or LGBTQ+ person may not be welcome. It's giving archaic. It can only see sex and sexuality as a performance to fulfill a predetermined role.

Happy #ThxBirthControl Day! I’m so proud to support this campaign for so long and have loved watching it evolved over the years.

Research shows that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for shifting public opinion. Share your birth control story NOW!

Birth control access is POPULAR. The majority of Americans, regardless of political affiliation, agree it should be accessible. Let’s remind policymakers of that! #ThxBirthControl
