If you are angry/terrified about the passage of the Stupak-Pitts Amendment and looking for actions that you can take, I've compiled some suggestions.
Call your representatives and tell them that health care reform cannot exclude women's reproductive health:
The New York State Senators are:
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand: (202) 224-4451
Senator Chuck Schumer: (202) 224-6542
Both of them are pro-choice, but we need them to take leadership positions against any erosion of women's reproductive rights.
The White House number is: (202) 456-1111
The Capital Switchboard number is: (202) 224-3121.

Get on the bus to DC:

Send a coat-hanger to the "pro-choice" congressmen who voted for the amendment:

Sign a few petitions:

Let your representatives know that women's bodies, health and rights are not a political bargaining chip.
Pro-Choice, Loud, and Proud!
