Our Summer of HER Program

The Summer of HER (Health, Empowerment, and Rights) is a field project co-sponsored by Population Connection Action Fund and our sister organization, Population Connection. Fellows work in their communities, across the country, to build support to permanently end the cruel and callous Global Gag Rule.

Activists work to advocate for the full range of comprehensive reproductive health care for individuals around the world through:

Collecting petitions to Congress in support of the Global HER Act
Recruiting and training new volunteers
Organizing rallies, petition drops at the offices of members of Congress, and social media actions
Garnering support for pro-choice, pro-family planning champions in Congress
Landing media hits in local news outlets to spread the word
Building coalitions with progressive organizations
