EDUCATIONAL ACTIONS
Sexuality is a big deal when you are a teenager. Congress has thrown away more than $1 billion on abstinence-only programs. These programs do nothing to tell teens about birth control and making responsible decisions about sex. Let's face it - abstinence isn't the answer!

Currently there are over 1 million people with HIV in the US and 40% of those people are under the age of 25. The Responsible Education About Life (REAL) Act will provide funding for medically accurate, age-appropriate sex education in schools. Urge your member of Congress to stop wasting money on abstinence-only programs and to support REAL sex education!
