Young Supporters - Make Your
Voices Heard! Join Vox!
What is Vox?
Vox is the Latin word for ‘voice’. On college
campuses in New Jersey, we are voices for Planned Parenthood and
reproductive freedom.
What does Vox do?
Through Vox
groups, college students across the country organize events on campus to
raise public awareness about reproductive rights and sexuality, work with
and support their local Planned Parenthood health centers, advocate
legislation that ensures affordable family planning, and mobilize advocates
in support of reproductive freedom.
Why should you join Vox?
-
There is power in the
voices of pro-choice students on campus.
-
To let politicians and
members of your community know that
our reproductive choices
are important and must be protected.
-
Handing out pins, condoms
and information is a great way to be an advocate and an educator; you get
to meet new and like-minded people.
-
To have fun planning and
attending events which make a difference!
What kind of events
and activities does Vox host?
-
Panel discussions and film
screenings on choice-related issues.
-
Celebrations for Roe v.
Wade anniversary, Women’s HERstory Month,
V-Day, a
day to end violence against women, etc.
-
Distribution of information
about sexuality and safer sex on campus, in the community, and at
concerts.
-
Opportunities to attend
meetings with legislators, conferences and rallies.
Is there a Vox
chapter on your campus? How can you get involved?
Contact AbbyWoodington@ppsnj.org,
for more info. If there isn’t a group on your campus, you can coordinate
with Planned Parenthood to start your own!
