For the last 4 years, SisterReach has been part of a working group comprised of advocates, researchers, doctors, and pharmaceutical representatives. Our task: working to make oral contraceptives like birth control pills available over-the-counter without a doctor's visit.
Imagine what this type of access could mean for women and teens across the state! No waiting
on a doctor's visit to renew your prescription. No asking off work for that doctor's visit. No worries that you will run out of your contraceptive method before your next doctor's visit. (Whew, how exhausting!)
The House Health Committee will listen to this legislation (HB 1823) up for a vote Wednesday and we need you to make sure the committee makes this bill a priority and passes OTC contraceptive access for women and girls in Tennessee!
TAKE ACTION: Our friends at Healthy & Free TN have created an easy way
for you to send a letter to the health committee urging them to PASS HB 1823.
