Save the date for Free the Pill’s 7th annual Free the Pill Day on May 9—the same day that the first birth control pill was approved by the US FDA back in 1960!

Coincidentally, May 9 also commemorates the anniversary of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s advisory committee hearing on Opill (in 2023), which has now become the first-ever—and currently only—over-the-counter (OTC) daily birth control pill available in the United States!

Join us on Friday, May 9, 2025 to help spread the word about Opill, and make sure that everyone knows it’s on store shelves across the country with no prescription or ID required! Stay tuned for more information about this year’s event activities, and make sure you sign up for our campaign to receive our Free the Pill Day Action Toolkit.
