About Advocates for Youth and Massachusetts Students
Advocates for Youth partners with youth leaders, adult allies, and youth-serving organizations to advocate for policies and champion programs that recognize young people’s rights to honest sexual health information; accessible, confidential, and affordable sexual health services; and the resources and opportunities necessary to create sexual health equity for all youth. H2399 is a bill introduced before the Massachusetts legislature by State Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa (1st Hampshire District) that would create funding for medication abortion to be provided by public universities' existing health services, improving access to medication abortion for 13 campuses and their approximately 154,000 current undergraduates. AFY is supporting this effort through youth training and organizing on campus, in partnership with current students.
