EC Access for All Campaign: Success! - |
In November, NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland launched a campaign to increase access to Emergency Contraception in Prince George’s County. Our research showed that the Giant located on Eastern Ave. was not reliably stocking emergency contraception. Through canvassing and other education efforts, we obtained enough signatures to show Giant that the local community overwhelmingly supports dependable access to emergency contraception. Giant is now consistently stocking Emergency Contraception! Thank you to everyone who helped us with this campaign! A special thanks goes to County Councilmember Will Campos, Delegate Doyle Niemann and Delegate Jolene Ivey for their commitment to increasing access to Emergency Contraception in Prince George’s county!

EC Access for All Campaign - |
Our research has discovered that one of our local pharmacies is refusing to sell emergency contraception (EC). The Giant pharmacy at located at 5815 Eastern Ave in Hyattsville, MD is currently restricting women's reproductive choices by denying access to EC. To sign our petition, contact Melissa at melissa@prochoicemd.org.
As a part of our EC Access for All Campaign, NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland is challenging the actions of the Eastern Ave. Giant Pharmacy. Over the next several weeks we will be obtaining petition signatures to show community support for access to EC without delay. Upcoming events include 2 Metro canvasses, a direct mail stuffing party, and a phone bank. To get involved in this exciting campaign, please contact Melissa
