West Coast Campus Director Gets Press on EC

FMF West Coast Campus Director, Debbie Castro, was recently interviewed by a number of campus papers for Back Up Your Birth Control Day and the urgent push to show support for EC OTC in light of the 90-day delay by the FDA to make EC available over the counter, without a prescription. Check out the Cal State Northridge article covering EC, http://www.sundial.csun.edu/sun/04s/articles/02/17/pill.jasper.html.

Students are urged to get press coverage by their campus and community newspapers to help spread the word that EC is in danger. Use the new EC-OTC Press Release, http://www.feministcampus.org/act/prescribechoice/ECPressRelease.pdf, sample letter to the editor, http://www.feministcampus.org/act/prescribechoice/lettereditor.pdf, and sample press release, http://www.feministcampus.org/act/prescribechoice/pressrelease.pdf, to get coverage for your "Back Up Your Birth Control Day" and EC campaign activism.
