Comprehensive sex education and access to contraceptives are crucial for a healthy society. CRAN is working with local governing bodies and community leaders to develop a sex education program with free contraceptives for adolescents in Mecklenburg County.

Other organizations around the country are working on this, too! Free the Pill is operated by Ibis Reproductive Health, a private nonprofit organization that is working in collaboration with HRA Pharma to submit an application to the United States Food and Drug Administration to make a birth control pill available over the counter. The goal is to make a birth control pill available over the counter in the United States. We strive for a pill that is low cost, covered by insurance, and available to people of all ages without a prescription.
