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.

We create our resources in order to help educate the general public about the importance of male birth control in an effort to empower people to advocate for the cause. A great way of doing so is to reach out to your friends and family to start discussions around male birth control. This will help ensure people are thinking about male contraception and prepare them for the inevitable day when more male methods are available.

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!
|
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!

Collaborate with MCI
|
As a small nonprofit, we rely on the support of external partners to accomplish our vision of “Reproductive Autonomy for All”. This extends beyond funding to include everything from conducting the scientific research for new male contraceptive targets, engaging with us through internships and fellowships, serving as advisors on various working groups, and more. We know it will take all of us working together to bring new male contraceptives to market, and we encourage you to reach out to us with any ideas you have on how we can engage with you.

Show Your Support
|
Our vision for the future is “Reproductive Autonomy for All”. More than a vision statement, though, we believe this is a rallying cry to build a movement around as achieving such a lofty goal benefits all people as well as the planet. You can show your support for the cause along with financial support to MCI by purchasing some of our branded merchandise in our store.
