100+ Sexual & reproductive rights Twitter activists & supporters

Published on 02/10/2009 by in found

After what’s been an incred­ibly inter­est­ing week for me, con­trib­ut­ing to Planned Parenthood’s #sexed­saves cam­paign, I decided it was time to cre­ate some kind of cent­ral list­ing for all the cool people I’ve met on Twit­ter as well as sup­port­ers of the #15andCounting & #sexed­saves cam­paigns. If you’re on Twit­ter already, go and fol­low them and give them some sup­port — even if it’s just re-tweeting some of the import­ant mes­sages they have.

Until Twit­ter activ­ates their much-anticipated Lists func­tion, I decided to just post the whole list­ing on my own blog. Some of these people are clearly highly act­ive Sexual Rights cam­paign­ers and some are simply people who felt strongly enough about the issues to share the cam­paigns with oth­ers within their own social net­works. The beauty of Twit­ter is that everyone’s con­tri­bu­tion is vis­ible so I’ve included as many as I could. Nat­ur­ally, it’s not com­pre­hens­ive. That’s where you come in. If you have any sug­ges­tions for other cam­paign­ers, please add them to the com­ments and I’ll be more than happy to keep the list updated. Sim­il­arly, if you feel that you want your name removed for whatever reason, please let me know:

UPDATE: You can now fol­low every­one on this list with one click thanks to the fant­astic TweepML although I had to split the list in two so you need to click both these buttons:

the list from A-M

the list from N-Z

    Hey Chris — @womenadvocates isn’t on the list. See our vital June 2009 art­icle, “Doc­tors Cam­paign for Safe Abor­tion in Zam­bia,” — Women News Net­work — WNN: http://womennewsnetwork.net/2009/06/12/doctors–

    • http://abortioneers.blogspot.com/ Abor­tion­eers

      I second the rec for @womenadvocates — and would also like to self-plug for @abortioneers. Our blog focuses most heav­ily on abor­tion issues, but we are strong advoc­ates for com­pre­hens­ive sexual health & repro­duct­ive justice and are very happy to be get­ting to know oth­ers who share this agenda via Twitter.

      • http://chriswells.me.uk Chris Wells

        Thanks to you both! You know, you’re my first ever blog com­ments so I really appre­ci­ate you tak­ing the time. I’ve added your requests to the list. Hope it can grow much lar­ger — I really like the idea of build­ing a united and global net­work of SRH act­iv­ists on Twitter.

  • Piper

    Great list. It is import­ant to show solidarity.

    @prochoiceme is a new twitterer.

  • shelbyk

    Thanks so much for the men­tion and, more import­antly, for com­pil­ing this great resource for repro right/sexual health advoc­ates! This is FAR bet­ter than any Fol­low Fri­day could ever be — thanks so much for all your awe­some work!

    • http://chriswells.me.uk Chris Wells

      Thanks! I just figured I needed a bet­ter way of shar­ing the SRH cham­pi­ons to new Twit­ter users — maybe we should set up a “Twibe” or some other way to con­vene everyone?

  • http://twitter.com/KittKlaiss Kitt Klaiss

    My stars! I’m just a small town doc, and flattered to be included on your list!

    • http://chriswells.me.uk Chris Wells

      In my mind there’s no reason a “small town doc” shouldn’t be on this list. Social media has broken down bound­ar­ies and flattened hier­arch­ies. Besides which, the global SRH move­ment (of which IPPF is a part) is a move­ment driven by people work­ing at the grass roots who under­stand the real­ity people face. I’m “just a graphic designer” but I feel strongly enough about injustice and sexual rights to do some­thing. What do you think?

      • http://twitter.com/KittKlaiss Kitt Klaiss

        I think you’re doing a really good job at some­thing import­ant. I think I RT mes­sages that are import­ant and need to be spread around, but don’t really gen­er­ate much sig­ni­fg­ant con­tent on my own. Still, it’s nice to be noticed :)

  • aftersi­lence

    Thank you so much for includ­ing me. This list is awe­some! I’ll be fol­low­ing all of the ones I am not already following!

  • http://blog.evilflea.com/ Phil H

    Oh, I might have to book­mark this. Thanks a lot. I do a bit, I’m involved in Advoc­ates for Action (not on Twit­ter) and occa­sion­ally blog about sexual health stuff, but it’s all mixed in with other guff. I’m @evilflea on Twit­ter if you are inter­ested, but not sure I really qual­ify for the list.

    • http://chriswells.me.uk Chris Wells

      I just read your (excel­lent) blog– of COURSE you qualify! =)

      Thanx for RTing the list too. I heard of Hoja a few months back — sounds like an ace organ­iz­a­tion. And did you once work for SPW too?

      • http://blog.evilflea.com/ Phil H

        I volun­teered for them in 2004, and I still volun­teer for them in the UK — Advoc­ates for Action is part of SPW, cam­paign­ing on sexual health policy.
