REAL SEX ED

Teens Deserve The Facts!

A coalition of groups in Georgia are coordinating activities and events during the 2009 National Week of Action focused on sex education the week of September 25 – October 2. This National Week of Action is aimed at educating our communities and decision makers about the importance of comprehensive sex education in our school systems. 

Come Rally With Us In Savannah!

WHO:  Planned Parenthood, Chatham County Youth Commission, Youth Futures Authority, Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance at AASU, and Georgia Parents for Responsible Health Education.

WHAT:  Friday, September 25th at 4:30 pm

WHERE:  THe Old Courthouse at 124 Bull Street.

Raising awareness about the Responsible Education About Life Act (the REAL Act), the federal bill that promotes the use of comprehensive sex education programs, will be a core message. This bill will provide funding to states for medically accurate, age appropriate, comprehensive sexuality education in the schools that includes information about both abstinence and contraception.

Sponsors and participants include:

City of Savannah Alderman Van Johnson, Chatham County Youth Commission, Youth Futures Authority, Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance at AASU, Georgia Parents for Responsible Health Education and Planned Parenthood. In Atlanta, Senator Vincent Fort, Representative Kathy Ashe, Representative Rashad Taylor, Representative Pat Gardner, Representative Tyrone Brooks, Representative Virgil Fludd, Representative Margaret Kaiser, Representative Stephanie Stuckey Benfield, Atlanta Public School Board Member Khaatim Sherrer El.
