Your Role in Defending Youth Futures

Community support is the only way we're able to show up time and time again. Yes, we provide free and accessible primary, mental, and sexual healthcare. But we are also taking to the streets and standing alongside our communities as we fight for safer youth futures.

This is what we've been doing and can continue to do with your support:

• Cultural Resistance: Our April screening of the documentary Marea Verde at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema wasn't just an event; it was a statement against global attacks on reproductive rights, drawing in community members and key activists to share, listen, and learn.
• Protest and Presence: In May, alongside incredible student-led groups, we were standing firm at Queen's Park, in defense of sexual, gender, and reproductive rights in the face of rising anti-choice hatred.
• Trans Youth Advocacy: Our September statement, in collaboration with Planned Parenthood Ottawa and the SHORE Centre, was a direct response to governmental threats against trans youth. We're not just advocates; we're human rights defenders.
• Countering Hate with Action: Joining the September 20 counter-protest, our team stood against the tide of anti-trans and anti-2SLGBTQ+ sentiment. We marched not just for rights, but for the respect and safety every young person deserves.
• Indigenous Solidarity: Our involvement in the March for the Land was a commitment to action, supporting Indigenous communities and echoing their calls for justice and greater decision-making power about their lands.
• Expanding Support Networks: Launching our post-abortion support group and social prescribing program wasn't just about care; it was about creating spaces for healing and connection, especially for those marginalized by mainstream narratives.
