Global Petition Campaign Launched
In February, the Population Institute joined 15 other organizations in launching a new global petition campaign urging U.S. and other donor nations to increase their support for family planning and reproductive health programs. The effort calls upon the international community to make access to contraceptives and reproductive health services a reality, not just a right. Dubbed the “Million for a Billion” petition campaign, the effort seeks to collect a million on-line signatures in support of a $1 billion increase in the level of international support for contraceptives and reproductive health programs in the developing world. That includes a boost in the U.S. funding level to $1 billion--an increase of $352 million from last year's funding level.
