In response to the unfolding COVID-19 crisis that is impacting communities across the country and revealing the existing gaps in access to healthcare for communities of color, Our Justice is expanding our work to ensure that all people have access to the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare.

In this moment of crisis we are now offering free emergency contraception distribution. Emergency contraceptive (EC) is a a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after unprotected sex. You can learn more about EC and its uses here. 

While anti-choice politicians across the country are exploiting this pandemic to restrict access to time sensitive, essential healthcare including reproductive healthcare and abortion care, we know that our communities need access to more healthcare, not less. 

We want you to be prepared for whatever is ahead and not have to unnecessarily scramble to a pharmacy for EC. 

How you can access this support:

• Text our textline at 612-208-7119

• In the text, let us know your preferred day/time for curbside pickup, or indicate if you need EC sent to you in the mail. Please note that mailing is only available for folks outside of the Twin Cities metro area.

• Who is eligible? Everyone! Yes, that means you.

• Don’t forget, please share this information with your networks!

We will be distributing free emergency contraception until supplies run out. 

A few things to note: 

• Plan B will not harm an already existing pregnancy. If you are pregnant and take any of these medications, it will have no effect on a continuing pregnancy.

• Research suggests that Plan B is ineffective for people who weigh more than 176 pounds and begins to lose effectiveness for people who weigh more than 165 pounds.

• For questions regarding Plan B and it’s effectiveness and side-effects please call  1-800-330-1271 or click to visit the website https://www.planbonestep.com/

• Our Justice is not liable for any damages arising from the use of Plan B.
