This has been an amazing week of action so far. We’ve had conversations on twitter and facebook, as well as great blog posts here about our contraception stories.
As part of the week of action we also contacted Latina bloggers to ask them to blog about their own contraception stories. Here are the posts that were created as part of our blog carnival! Thanks to everyone who participated and please check out the great content.
