Welcome to Back Up Your Birth Control
Back Up Your Birth Control (BUYBC) is a national campaign to expand access to emergency contraception (EC) by increasing education and awareness. Each year, a partnership of leading advocacy organizations, service providers, and other community stakeholders conduct educational outreach and offer free services, culminating in the Day of Action.
The 9th annual Back Up Your Birth Control Day of Action was on Wednesday, March 24th, 2010. Advocates and supporters from across the country joined us in raising awareness of EC and ensuring that every woman can back up her birth control with EC when and if she needs it. Thanks to all who participated! Plans for the 10th annual 2011 BUYBC Campaign are already underway. In the meantime, the BUYBC team will continue to serve as a resource for EC information, including ways that activists can keep up the fight to raise awareness of and expand access to EC!
