The New View Campaign
|
|
The New View Campaign was formed in 2000 as a grassroots network to challenge the distorted and oversimplified messages about sexuality that the pharmaceutical industry relies on to sell its new drugs.
The pharmaceutical industry wants people to think that sexual problems are simple medical matters, and it offers drugs as expensive magic fixes. But sexual problems are complicated, sexuality is diverse, and no drug is without side effects.
The goal of the New View Campaign is to expose biased research and promotional methods that serve corporate profit rather than people's pleasure and satisfaction. The Campaign challenges all views that reduce sexual experience to genital biology and thereby ignore the many dimensions of real life.
The New View Campaign is devoted to education, activism, and empowerment. We invite you to benefit from the information on this website, and we invite your support and participation.

Recognizing that the menstrual and sexual health concerns of younger women result from hormonal imbalances, Laughing Sage counselors use food medicinally to nurture, balance, and heal the foundation of a woman's hormonal system, instead of masking or eliminating it with drugs or surgery. Our holistic health group pairs clients with insightful and compassionate counselors who are trained experts in holistic nutrition and women' self-care. We serve as a virtual women's health center, working nationally with women by phone and online.

Fertility Awareness Center
The Fertility Awareness Center has been teaching women and couples since 1981.Fertility Awareness is a system by which a woman can identify the days of her cycle that are fertile. If she does not have unprotected intercourse on those days, she cannot become pregnant. Thus, the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) can be used as a very safe and effective method of contraception ("birth control"). Fertility Awareness can also help you achieve and maintain pregnancy. By charting your cycle, you can tell if you are ovulating on a regular basis, and identify your fertile days so that intercourse can be timed optimally. At the website, you will find information about the method itself, as well as how you can learn it.

Student Action Environmental Coalition: Tampaction Campaign
The Tampaction Campaign is a national, youth led effort to eradicate the use of unhealthy, unsustainable tampons and pads, institutionalize sustainable alternatives into our schools and communities, and infuse healthy attitudes surrounding menstruation into our culture's consciousness. We're letting the world know that bleedin' can be everyone's issue. In doing so, we work to destroy patriarchal taboos, end environmental degradation caused by disposable tampons and pads, and promote vaginal and menstrual health.
