Hot Like Fire: Creative Ways to Use PEP's Ads


Check out some of the ways organizations, coalitions and individuals across the country are using PEP's ads for outreach and public education efforts.

  • In Minnesota, the Pro-Choice Education Coalition (PCEC) formed and later conducted an extensive media campaign to raise pro-choice awareness using PEP's ads in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

  • College students have put PEP posters in their rooms, hallways, even bathrooms!

  • The Freedom of Choice Ohio coalition ran PEP's ads in two cinemas before movies in Westerville. The cinemas are located near the Ohio State University and Capital University campuses.

  • Planned Parenthood Mar Monte in Reno used PEP's ads for invitations to its annual Roe v. Wade brunch: The Next Generation's Ladder to Access.

  • Students at the University of Louisville, with the help of ACLU of Kentucky, ran a PEP ad in its campus paper and posted flyers using PEP's ads throughout the campus.

  • SafeSpace, a community center for homeless teens in New York city, used PEP's ads to spark discussion about reproductive health issues in a Life Skills class.

  • Planned Parenthood of Greater Northern New Jersey produced coasters using PEP's ads, which were distributed to bars and restaurants in New Jersey.

  • �� Planned Parenthood Federation of America turned one of our ads into an e card for use online.

Other creative ideas include:

  • Make pro-choice T-shirts, by printing an ad from www.protectchoice.org onto iron-on transfer paper (about $10, available at a stationery store).

  • Make pro-choice calendars at a copy center such as Kinko's. (Don't forget to mark the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, January 22nd!)

  • Make mix cds or tapes for choice, and use a PEP ad for the covers. Or, if you've got a bit more money at your disposal, put them on postcards, stationary, buttons, shopping bags, mo�use pads, and tickets to youth events.

  • Put the posters up around your neighborhood: beauty and nail salons, gyms, women's clothing stores, mall kiosks, locker rooms, bus stations, community centers, concert venues, coffee houses, book stores, and bathrooms at bars and restaurants.
