Emergency Contraception for Every Campus
In 2019, ASEC launched the Emergency Contraception for Every Campus (EC4EC) project to organize and build power among bold student activists interested in advocating for expanded access to EC on college campuses.

EC4EC provides student activists with crucial resources, mentoring, and community to advance three signature strategies on campus:
-
Improving EC availability through existing campus health services
-
Advocating for a vending machine with low-cost EC and other sexual health products
-
Building peer-to-peer EC distribution programs
EC4EC focuses on the highest-need student populations, with a particular interest in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Catholic universities, campuses in states that have banned or severely limited access to abortion, and campuses with graduation rates lower than the national average.
We center the leadership of young people in the fight for contraceptive access, engage them at every level of programming, and contribute to their development as lifelong advocates for reproductive health, rights, and justice.
