The 2010 legislative session is underway and sex ed is in the mix! Our 2010 strategy is to expand the audience of legislators in the know about sex ed - and who better to hear about the positive impacts of responsible sex ed than the Health and Human Service Policy committees. This year Minnesota has seen serious increases in HIV and STI rates - following two years of increasing adolescent pregnancy rates. Young people need access to developmentally appropriate, medically accurate information now.
Responsible sex ed bills were introduced (HF2986/SF2645) earlier this week and referred to health policy committee! The best way for you to support these bills is to attend Pro-Choice Lobby Day on March 4th and tell your Legislators to stand up for Minnesota's kids.
