Feminists for Life Announces New National Directory of Campus ResourcesCollege-age women are at highest risk for abortion. Too many feel forced to choose between their education or careers and their children. Since 1972 Feminists for Life has been leading pro-life feminist education, and since 1994 FFL has been leading advocacy of campus resources for pregnant and parenting students. We are now proud to announce: FFL's new National Directory of Campus Resources for Pregnant and Parenting Students. Everything that Feminists for Life has previously achieved on college campuses has led to this moment. We've heard so many heartbreaking stories from women who couldn't find the help they need--often with tragic results. We know that pregnancy and parenting resources are obscure or nonexistent at most schools. We can make this school year the turning point for those at highest risk of abortion. FFL's new directory will provide links to essential resources, state by state, school by school. With the National Directory of Campus Resources:
We must expand and promote this new online resource as fast as we can. The more complete it is--and the more people know about it--the more impact it can have. The clock is ticking. We need to get more data into the directory right now. We want all colleges and universities to be represented. Right now, it's just a fraction. But see what can be done! Check out Minnesota, Iowa, Maryland, and DC, for example. FFL staff and dedicated volunteers are already gathering more data, using FFL's Pregnancy Resources Survey." We are partnering with Students for Life to complete our survey at 620 campuses where SFL is active. (And, with your support, FFL is offering each of them a kit to help them revolutionize their campuses!) All that data will be fact-checked and uploaded into the National Directory. We invite you to help this initiative in a variety of ways:
With FFL's new National Directory of Campus Resources, we can change the culture on campus. We can save lives and build futures. We must be ready when a student at "University X" learns she is pregnant and starts considering her options. Will FFL's National Directory of Campus Resources have the information she needs when she needs it? Please forward this link to your family and friends, and please share our other resources, including "Raising Kids on a Shoestring."
