Now that Congress has passed legislation to continue Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 funding until the end of the year, appropriators are now turning their focus on funding programs for FY 2026. As we begin a new appropriations process at a time of much uncertainty, it is critical that legislators work to support and protect funding for federal programs that provide care and resources for our communities. Even in the face of fear and chaos, we must continue working towards reproductive well-being for all. Specifically, Congress must:

• Provide $737 million for the Title X Family Planning Program;
• Provide $150 million for the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program;
• Eliminate funding for the harmful Sexual Risk Avoidance Program;
• Remove anti-abortion policy riders such as the Hyde and Weldon Amendments; and
• Include health extenders to reauthorize programs like the Personal Responsibility and Education Program (PREP).

 

 Tell your legislators to support and protect these and other programs that support reproductive well-being.
