Campaign to Expose Fake Clinics
They advertise as so-called “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” or “Pregnancy Resource Centers” on your campus or in your community. They pose as legitimate health centers and offer “free” pregnancy tests. In reality, most crisis pregnancy centers (CPC's) are not medical facilities at all. Learn more about these fake clinics and how you can bring the Feminist Majority Foundation's Campaign to Expose Fake Clinics to your campus. Stop the deception! |

Global Women's and Reproductive Rights Campaign
Now more than ever, it is vital to speak out for global women's rights and human rights issues. Educate your campus on what they can do to change current U.S. international family planning policies (the Global Gag Rule and under funding international family planning) and the links among family planning and sweatshops, poverty, and violence against women around the world.
- Plan events to educate your campus about Global Reproductive Rights to draw the connections between decreased family planning funding and how this implicates itself for the lives of women world wide . Screen and discuss FMF's own "The Global Majority...Again" DVD.
- Organize with our Afghan Women's Health Campaign. One in six Afghan women will die from complications during pregnancy or childbirth. You can help Afghan women and girls (indeed, all too many very young girls -- 11, 12, or 13 years old -- will become pregnant) with as little as $3,000. Learn more or contact your Campus Organizer to form a fundraising action team today.
- Host a green/pink party! You don't have to be an expert on these issues in order to host a party -- all it takes is a desire to make a difference! When you sign up to host a Green-Pink Party, we will send you a FREE Green-Pink Party Kit that includes everything you'll need to organize a fun and successful event: a step-by-step instructional guide, invitations, mission statement cards, fact sheets, two short DVDs, green & pink condoms, and more! Sign up here!

Get Out HER Vote
Our Get Out Her Vote 2008 Campaign (GOHV ) was a great success! This ongoing student voter education and registration initiative, Get Out Her Vote, is aimed at significantly increasing registration and voting by young women.
As part of our multi-issue feminist organizing, every other year we provide training and materials for student voter registration and mobilization drives. These trainings are important because students are able to identify barriers that impede voter participation among college students and help to thwart those efforts. In 2006 the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) reported that about 2 million more young people voted in 2006 than in the last midterm election, making for an increase of 24 percent.
See the 2008 GOHV site and materials - new materials for 2010 mid-term elections coming soon! |

Sweat Shop Action Campaign
Become a Sweat-Free Campus! The production of college apparel is a huge industry, with students, alumni, and others spending millions of dollars each year to wear university colors. Meet with college and university officials to request that all college athletic wear and apparel be purchased from companies that do not use sweatshop labor. Student groups can also gather petition signatures from students and launch a public awareness campaign on campus to educate on the importance of becoming a sweat-free campus.
