Back Up Your Birth Control

Thanks for all your support and participation on the 11th annual Back Up Your Birth Control Day of Action! We’ll see you again in 2013!

On Wednesday, March 28, 2012 we collectively set the record straight about emergency contraception (EC). This year’s theme was EC = BC (as in birth control), and we used the day to defeat the myths and lies, spreading the word that EC is a safe and effective form of birth control that prevents pregnancy after sex, but will only work if you are not pregnant!

Check out our EC = BC tumblr!



Raising awareness about EC isn’t restricted to just one day, so please join us in continuing to spread the EC=BC message throughout the rest of the year! You can still share the images with your networks – and continue to create and submit your own! It’s simple: Take an iconic image, write a catchy slogan to go with the theme, add the tagline EC = BC, then post the images to the tumblr yourself! We know for a fact – this is fun, and even addictive. Get creative! We’ll circulate your images on social media throughout the Day of Action!

Other ways you can continue to get involved:
- Get a coupon for discounted EC and encourage your friends to do the same.
- Learn the facts about EC products and how to access them.
- Join our media effort by blogging on the Day of Action.
- Download our EC Fact Sheet and distribute it in your community.
- Visit our Take Action page for more ideas!

Thanks for making this year’s Back Up Your Birth Control campaign the best one yet - and for continuing to spread this important message!
