As the abortion rights landscape changes from week to week, peer advocates are doubling down to share accurate information about safe and legal abortion.
across the country are organizing to increase access to abortion in their communities. While their activism might not look the same as other generations, the way they fight is deeply embedded in how they care about their community,” she said.
Young people are fundraising for their loved ones to get abortions out of state, they are speaking out against draconian state abortion restrictions, and even organizing for their campuses to make emergency contraception, condoms and medication abortion easily accessible to the students who need them.
For Charlotte, an advocate in Michigan, the most important aspect of being a high school peer educator is sharing factual information. “If people don’t even know what self-managed abortions exist, how would they be able to have one, let alone have one safely? There are so many important steps and small details that go into self-managed abortions like how many mifepristone and misoprostol pills a person should take, how far apart to take them, and what combination of the two.
If people don’t even know what self-managed abortions exist, how would they be able to have one, let alone have one safely?Abortion isn’t included in Michigan’s health classes, but Charlotte said teens can still get the information they need by asking a peer educator instead of having to look online where sources aren’t reliable.
