September 28 Action Alert!
Sign the September 28 Manifesto!
Our Bodies, Our Future!
Days left before Sept. 28: 12
The Manifesto for September 28, Our Bodies, Our Future! calls for an end to discrimination of women and girls, demands government to provide the right to safe and legal abortion, and pushes for the recognition of abortion rights within the new development agenda.The Manifesto shows the unity of SRHR advocates all over the world to hold governments accountable to their existing commitments, and continue to take action to ensure that national policies effectively ensure access to affordable, accessible, high quality, youth friendly abortion services, along with information about how to locate and access such services.It is also vital that this existing commitment on access to safe and legal abortion be included in the outcomes and recommendations of the ICPD, MGD review processes that will inform the development of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Post2014-2015 development agenda.STRENGTHEN OUR UNITY FOR ACCESS TO SAFE AND LEGAL ABORTION BY SIGNING ON TO THE MANIFESTO!

On September 28, we are not only mobilising ourselves in the different parts of the world, we are taking over Twitterverse as well!The goal of the Sept28 tweetathon is to take over Twitterverse on September 28 using the hashtags #sept28 and #safeabortion in order to spread awareness on the situation of women from all over the world in demanding for their right to safe and legal abortion.
How to participate:1. On September 28, tweet at least every 2 hours, from 9am-9pm, on any of the following:
- Facts about abortion in your country

- Statements that support the need for access to safe and legal abortion
You can also tweet photos of your local Sept28 event, or photos for the virtual mural (just mention us so we can keep track)2. Make sure to include the hashtag #sept28 in all your tweets, and #safeabortion if necessary. For spanish, use #28septiembre and #abortolegal3. Encourage your friends to participate4.

See how others are collaborating on Twitterverse on #sept28!

2. Abortion Rights UK
Abortion Rights, based in London but working across the UK, are running two social media campaigns for September 28.
1. A two week (14-28th) quiz on legality, access etc. the first correct answer to tweet questions wins a prize
2. An "I'm pro-choice because..." campaign whereby people are asked to print and complete the template posted, write their own sign or simply tweet/FB their reason for being pro-choice. This can be ongoing post Sept 28, depending on traction.
