A large green speech bubble on an off-white background. Inside is a quote that reads "We recommend pediatricians explore a teen's reproductive health goals and birth control knowledge and preferences without making assumptions." Without making assumptions is underlined. The quote is attributed to Andrea J. Hoopes, MD, MPH. Underneath her name it states "YRE's Director of Clinical Linkages and co-author of AAP's latest policy statement".

AAP's latest guidelines on contraception for adolescents promotes evidence-based, person-centered care for young people. To learn more about how to tailor your contraceptive options counseling, read their new clinical report, co-authored by two YRE members.

LIVE: Join leaders fighting to protect contraception & reproductive freedom in the post-Roe era. YouTube video by Senator Markey

YRE’s own Dr. Tracey Wilkinson provided evidence-based testimony in a U.S. Congressional hearing last week on national threats to birth control access. Young people, she states, are particularly at risk.

Since Dobbs, YRE has been committed to amplifying young people’s voices-conducting research that captures their experiences navigating Post-Roe America. Now more than ever, we are dedicated to advocating for evidence-based policies & practices that affirm their reproductive autonomy. #trustteens

Just to be clear, conservatives don’t want students taught about contraception or sexual health - but they do want to teach them how they can get pregnant www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

As Expected, Minors Are Among Those Most Impacted by Anti-Abortion Laws “Without access to abortion, these girls have lost the ability to control their lives and their futures,” one researcher said.

“Minors are often targeted by restrictive policies and less able to use routes to abortion care common for adults—traveling to another state or using telehealth—leaving them disproportionately impacted” says YRE's own @lauralindberg.bsky.social in @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

@jezebeldotcom.bsky.social contextualize our finding that 2/3 of minor adolescents live in states w/ abortion bans or parental involvement laws. They highlight horrific abortion "trafficking" laws limiting teens' ability to travel for care or have support from adults in their lives. bit.ly/4jw3kPu

Something to think about

The Trump tax plan only works by cutting public services.

This incredible visualization combines the potential tax cuts (which mostly go to the rich) and loss of services (mostly borne by the poor).

It is a giant wealth transfer from the poorest to the richest. budgetlab.yale.edu/news/250319/...

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe.

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

Thank you, @democracyforward.bsky.social !

Great working with this @youthrepro.bsky.social team to provide guidance to clinicians on communicating sexual health information to adolescents.
