Get Involved

Three people stand in a circle, smiling and doing a group fist bump indoors, surrounded by green plants and natural light.

It will take a collective effort to ensure that those in positions of power understand the demand for and importance of new male birth control methods. By raising awareness, advocating for change, and supporting research, we can drive progress and create a future where everyone has access to the birth control options they need.

The underfunding of male birth control research and related drug development is largely due to the persistent misconception that people are uninterested in these options. To address this, we must work together to advocate for increased funding and support for research in this area. It’s equally important to foster a shared understanding of not only the next generation of male birth control but also the complexities of the male reproductive system. This knowledge is essential for driving progress and ensuring that male and female methods of contraception are on a more equal footing. By working together, we can break down barriers and create a more equitable landscape for reproductive health.

Engage with Elected Officials

There is legislation that governs contraception at the local, state, and national levels. Reach out to your elected representatives and let them know that male birth control is important to you, and request that they support measures that would increase funding for male contraception research and development. Email your elected representatives, tweet them, call them, join a town hall, and/or share your story. The more they hear from us, the more they will think about advocating for male contraception!

Contact Your Elected Officials

Share Your Perspectives

We utilize surveys to gather information on a range of topics related to male birth control, and capitalize on the responses for each to create outreach and educational collateral such as blog content, videos, and social media posts. Add your voice to the conversation by visiting this space often and responding to the surveys we add on an ongoing basis!

Help Create Social Media Content

We endeavor to engage with as diverse an audience as possible, so we are active on many of the most popular social media platforms. As a small team, we are limited in our ability to create meaningful content that engages with a wide range of audiences on a daily basis. A quick and easy way that you can help us address this is by sharing your creativity, and we encourage people to reach out to us with any ideas you have for content!
