We Freed the Pill: Reflecting on the road to FDA approval and strategies for equitable access

This event has passed. Watch the recording 

The FDA approved the first-ever OTC birth control pill in the US in July 2023 and now Opill is available on shelves nationwide! This was a movement-driven win that came after two decades of research, advocacy, and partnerships to lay the groundwork for a different kind of OTC switch.

Join us on August 13 at 10am PT/1pm ET for a Free the Pill webinar to celebrate 1 year since the approval of Opill and hear from key leaders who testified at the FDA advisory committee meeting and conducted research critical to achieving this victory. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about what it took to bring the first birth control pill OTC in the US and the work ahead to ensure that Opill is equitably accessible to all.

We are excited to share a visual history of the #FreeThePill movement! Check out our timeline
