Capitol Hill Days has made a profound impact on many of our participants, some of whom were previously unaware of population issues. Lehigh student Karina Licea describes the experience as nothing short of life-changing: “It really opened my eyes about issues that I was so uninformed about beforehand. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was a life-changing experience, and hopefully one that will help me change other lives later on.… I’m really excited to share what I learned through Population Connection.” Every year, we are encouraged and humbled by the dedication that these young activists bring to our cause. Capitol Hill Days is a wonderful way to educate and inspire the next generation of population activists as we continue to fight for a sustainable and healthy global population. |

Thank you so much for your generous contribution to the Center for Reproductive Rights. We are so grateful for the outpouring of support we received FBB members for women's reproductive rights! This is a critical time for the Center, and your gift means so much. The Center is the only organization using constitutional and human rights law globally to defend and advance women’s essential reproductive rights. With the generous support of FBB members, the Center has:
These are just a few pieces of the legal framework the Center is now building to restore our hard-won reproductive rights at home, broaden protections for reproductive rights and health in international law, and win access to affordable contraception for women everywhere. This movement wouldn’t be possible without your commitment to the Center. Thank you again for your generous gift, and for choosing to stand with us on the front lines. We truly appreciate the support we received from FBB members at this important time in our movement. Sincerely, |

Each spring, more than 100 enthusiastic and motivated Population Connection activists arrive in Washington DC for our annual advocacy weekend, Capitol Hill Days. The weekend consists of renowned speakers, advocacy training, and interactive informational sessions, culminating in lobby visits on Capitol Hill. Throughout the event, participants get the unique opportunity not only to gain insight into the important issues of women’s empowerment and global family planning, but to lobby their representatives directly on behalf of sound family planning policy and increased international family planning assistance.
