ACT NOW FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS
Women and girls can’t wait, and you have the power to make a difference today.
Right now, UNFPA teams in 150+ countries are delivering babies, protecting girls from child marriage and genital mutilation, and reaching families in crisis with lifesaving care, but this work only continues when U.S. advocates speak up.
Your voice is one of the most powerful tools we have. Join more than 20,000 First Responders who are already taking action for women and girls today:

JOIN JANE AND BECOME A FIRST RESPONDER TODAY
When the Bush Administration cut $34 million in funding for UNFPA in 2001, USA for UNFPA co-founder Jane Roberts jumped into action. She created 34 Million Friends, a grassroots organization powered by the simple idea that if 34 million Americans gave just $1, we could replace the lost funding and restore lifesaving sexual and reproductive health services around the world. Today, 34 Million Friends lives on as USA for UNFPA.
Jane vibrated with energy and used her signature spunk to help build a world where women and girls can make decisions for their bodies, families, and futures. Today, you can honor Jane’s legacy by becoming a First Responder. First Responders receives text updates with breaking news alerts and time-sensitive advocacy opportunities—because when crisis strikes and women and girls need care, every second counts.

“Personally, I received a good education. I was healthy. My husband and I fell in love and used family planning. I wasn’t afraid of dying in childbirth. I never suffered gender-based violence in any of its myriad forms.
No woman should have to experience those things. Education and health are the backbone of gender equality and UNFPA’s work. I saw this firsthand in Senegal and Mali when I visited UNFPA clinics there.
I am elated and proud to still be uplifting women and girls through USA for UNFPA. It is the way for good Americans to take a stand in these fraught times for women, for children, and for humanity.”
– Jane Roberts, co-founder 34 Million Friends and lifelong advocate for women and girls
