The Birth of �No New Money�
In order to prevent a funding increase for abstinence-only-until-marriage sex ed programs, SIECUS, Advocates for Youth, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America have unveiled the �No New Money� Web site.
Why is it called �No New Money�? SIECUS and its supporting organizations want the U.S. House Appropriations Committee to give �no new money� to certain abstinence-only education programs. (Click here to read about these programs.)
The Web site aims to be a main hub for comprehensive sex ed advocates�a place for them to gain and sharpen their activist tools. The site also puts users in direct contact with political representatives through its �Take Action� section. Want to contact your representative and tell him/her that you want �No New Money� for abstinence-only-until-marriage education? Click here!
