Student Activists Provide Contraception Covertly at Catholic University

Covert Contraception Network

• 💡 Student activists at DePaul University, a Catholic institution, have established a clandestine network to distribute contraceptive materials.
• 🎯 This initiative aims to provide sexual health resources, including condoms, emergency contraception (Plan B), lube, and pregnancy tests, to the DePaul community.
• 📌 The group previously operated as Planned Parenthood Generation Action but was disbanded by the university due to its affiliation with Planned Parenthood, which conflicted with the university's Catholic identity.

Operating Under New Name

• 🚀 Despite the university ban, the students are continuing their operations under a new name that does not explicitly include "DePaul University."
• ⚠️ They are now operating off-campus to avoid any risk of interference from the university.
• 💬 The need for discretion is highlighted by students who live in unsupportive family environments but require these materials for their personal health.

Importance of Access and Education

• 🌱 The activists emphasize the importance of providing free, accessible materials coupled with education in a safe environment.
• ✅ This network ensures students can protect themselves and access necessary sexual health resources, even when institutional support is limited.
