news and national events planning calendar Use this events calendar to tie in your ads, education or outreach activities to national events. For example, during May, run a Mothers Day ad, billboard, distribute bookmarks and write letters to the editor about teens and women at risk of coerced abortion and post-abortion harm and heartbreak. In September, before National Suicide Prevention Week, you could run healing ads and write a letter to your legislators about unwanted or coerced abortions and post-abortion suicide risk. March is National Talk to Your Teens about Sex Week and you can proactively raise awareness of abortion's risks to teens, including risk of coerced or deceptively presented abortion. During January and October events, you can plan ahead to run a compassionate Signature Ad or run small space ads in bulletins and other publications.
