Wanted: A Few Good College/University Activists



Get Active with Vox: Voice for Planned Parenthood

1. Educate your campus about reproductive rights and healthcare.

Vox chapters have a big job to do when countering confusion and anti-choice lies about important topics, such as Emergency Contraception. Vox should be a visible source of information, tabling in common areas around campus, publishing letters and columns in your student newspaper and holding events.


2. Mobilize your members in coordination with Planned Parenthood to defend and expand reproductive rights and access to healthcare.

Vox chapters play a critical role in mobilizing pro-choice supporters for important Planned Parenthood events. Mobilizing your members for these events show other supporters and the media that young people are a vital part of this movement! These events are also an important opportunity to show your members how their actions on campus are part of a larger movement on a local, statewide and nationwide basis.


3. Develop the next generation of pro-choice leaders and supporters.

Vox chapters aren't just clubs – they are part of a nationwide, even worldwide, movement! You are recruiting and developing the next generation of pro-choice supporters and leaders. Make sure your Vox chapter is recruiting by signing students up to the Planned Parenthood Action Network (PPAN), otherwise, once people graduate, they've lost their connection to the movement! Vox chapters should develop their members by offering opportunities for leadership and advanced learning.


Interested in starting a chapter on your campus? If you'd like to start a Vox group on your campus or join an existing group, e-mail us at vox@ppfa.org. We'll connect you with your local Planned Parenthood affiliate. Please be sure to include the name of your college, your full mailing address, and a phone number where we can reach you.
