World Contraception Day was September 26th!👏🏽

💭Why is this holiday celebrated around the world? Because it’s an important day (and wonderful opportunity) to “bring focus to the rights of 𝙖𝙡𝙡 couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly on the number and spacing of their children.” -CDC

Don’t forget to wear your purple on August 27th to celebrate day! 💜

Wear It Purple Day was created to advocate for and empower LGBTQIA+ young people by letting them know they are not alone. Through the simple act of wearing or sharing purple, you can:
🤝show you celebrate and promote the values or diversity and inclusion in all social settings,
‼️raise awareness of s*xuality & gender identity and challenge harmful social norms,
🥇and mark yourself as a champion role model helping to empower young people with the confidence and creating the social safety & support for them to be exactly who they are.

While this movement started in Australia, let’s do our part to bring it worldwide and support the young people in our communities this week! 🏳️‍🌈
