Key Initiatives

One piece of our larger work to advance state contraceptive access policies, our digital toolkit presents a variety of materials for elected officials, public health officials, and advocates. Currently, it focuses on three policies: coverage for an extended supply of contraception, protecting contraceptive coverage, and pharmacist prescribing of contraception.

Power to Decide has launched BCBenefits: A Contraceptive Access Fund to support everyone's power to decide if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child. The Fund helps people of low income to overcome some of the most commonly-faced barriers in access to contraception, including transportation, child care, and other associated costs.

Unplanned pregnancies can make it hard to achieve educational goals. We help college campuses establish a system of support for all of their students’ health and pregnancy planning needs.

System-involved youth are at higher risk of unplanned pregnancy. We support innovative efforts to ensure that these young people receive the support they need to achieve their goals.

The Contraceptive Equity Initiative is a new effort from Power to Decide to use our expertise, tools, and assets to address barriers to birth control access.

Power to Decide catalyzes innovation in reproductive and sexual health by using HCD, also known as design thinking, to find creative solutions to challenges and pain points in the field. We are passionate about sharing the benefits of HCD with others. There are many ways that we can support you and your organization to use HCD to develop innovative solutions to the challenges you’ve identified in the sexual and reproductive health field. 

One Key Question supports people's power to decide by helping to transform their health care experience. We offer training and technical assistance to providers, organizations, and others interested in adopting this approach.

From TLC's UNEXPECTED and Freeform's The Bold Type to Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan, we partner with writers and producers to talk about sexual health, relationships, and birth control.
