Dear Friend of DKT,
A Republican administration in Washington, DC is bad for reproductive rights globally and in the United States.
We know that the policies and strategies of a Trump administration are regressive and cruel. They limit individuals’ agency to control their reproductive lives and interject the government into the bedroom where it absolutely does not belong. These policies are also counterintuitive: a majority of Americans have clearly signaled that they support access to reproductive healthcare.
A few thoughts on what we can do.
- Don’t let fear and frustration set in. We are on the right side of history and there is an inexorable march towards freedom (including reproductive freedom) even while it is under attack.
- We should focus on those things we can control: ensuring that contraceptive and safe abortion products, services, and information are widely available everywhere in the world. For DKT, our commitment to making quality, affordable contraception and safe abortion products available and accessible throughout the world only continues to strengthen.
- We will continue to fight battles large and small, keeping up our collective spirits with the practical successes we can achieve individually or organizationally. In DKT’s case, that means launching and expanding access to contraception, training providers, and educating and empowering our customers.

We can support organizations that are working to make a difference. In the USA, please consider supporting our affiliate carafem.
