OUR IMPACT | Abortion + Healthcare

We are particularly focused on the reproductive freedoms and rights of young people to reproductive autonomy, including access to accurate, scientifically based sex education programs and affordable or no-cost access to contraception. Deeds advocates will work to reduce teen pregnancy through access to information and contraceptive care.

The People’s Filibuster

After the 2013 People’s Filibuster, Deeds Not Words is excited to join reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations from across Texas in fighting back against anti-abortion legislation with a groundbreaking federal legal challenge to the existing web of Texas abortion restrictions.

Collectively, we held a press conference to highlight the merits of the lawsuit and created a communications campaign to help raise awareness about the existing landscape of abortion restrictions in Texas and the People’s Lawsuit that seeks to overturn them.

Our young Changemakers were an important part of these efforts and will continue to provide communications support for the People’s Lawsuit awareness campaign.
