A new group of religious young people are working to help make sure that women’s reproductive choices remain safe and legal:
Spiritual Youth for Reproductive Freedom (SYRF) educates, organizes and empowers youth and young adults (ages 16-30) to put their faith into action and advocate for pro-choice social justice.
SYRF is a program of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. SYRF creates venues for youth education and activism, designs youth-specific materials, and builds lasting relationships with youth oriented organizations, campus clergy, and youth programs of our denominations. Since young people lead this program, SYRF lifts up pro-faith youth and young adult perspectives on reproductive choice issues and provides young people with tools and opportunities to advocate for choice on their campuses, high schools, congregations and communities.
Check out their web site. Are you 16-30? Then join up. This is a great new project with tremendous potential for organizing young people in our faith communities to be advocates for choice. If you aren’t in this age group make sure that people you know who fit the bill find out about this site.
