Overview
Plan C is a public health meets creative campaign, started in 2015 by a small but mighty team of veteran public health advocates, researchers, social justice activists and digital strategists. Plan C transforms access to abortion in the US by normalizing the self-directed option of abortion pills by mail. Plan C envisions a near future in which the ability to end an early pregnancy is directly in the hands of anyone who seeks it.
Impact At A Glance
Over the past six years, Plan C has transformed abortion care access by:
- Reaching millions of people with information on self-managed abortion
- Inspiring the launch of research and telemedicine studies
- Creating hotlines, legal assistance programs, and other consumer resources.
Overview
The M+A hotline is a team of pro-abortion clinicians with years of experience in caring for miscarriage and abortion. These clinicians freely give their time to the public by operating an anonymous hotline from 8AM to 11PM via phone or text to give expert advice on self-managing miscarriage and abortions. They respond within 1 hour, and operate on confidential, private, and secure servers.
Impact At A Glance
No one else is offering this kind of text and phone support, especially in a person’s time of need. To date, the M+A hotline has helped thousands of callers per year in an ever-changing, now post-Roe landscape.
