TAKE ACTION FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS
Women and girls around the world are counting on us. You can make a difference today. Here’s how:
WRITE YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS
If passed, The Support UNFPA Funding Act would secure five years of funding for UNFPA’s lifesaving work to provide sexual and reproductive healthcare around the world.
Women and girls can’t wait. Urge your members of Congress to co-sponsor the Support UNFPA Funding Act today.
RAISE YOUR VOICE
UNFPA provides everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, with rights-based, science-backed reproductive healthcare, including HIV testing, contraception, survivor support, and safe shelter for LGBTQI+ individuals in crisis.
Ahead of Pride, add your voice and urge our leaders to protect LGBTQI+ human rights everywhere.
SEND A THANK YOU CARD
Midwives are the backbone of UNFPA’s work: delivering babies, providing family planning, supporting survivors of violence, and connecting families to safety during emergencies.
Send a thank you note and we’ll make sure it reaches midwives working across the globe.
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 funding that was lost and restore lifesaving sexual and reproductive health services around the world. Today, 34 Million Friends lives on as USA for UNFPA.
Jane was full of energy and spunk and spent more than two decades raising her voice for 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 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
