2024 Year in Review
A discussion with the senior staff of Population Connection & Population Connection Action Fund
Join us as we close the year with our annual Year in Review event, showcasing our organization’s most noteworthy accomplishments in 2024. Senior staff will take you through our achievements and progress—all made possible by our dedicated network of supporters!
Our Population Education program engaged with thousands of K-12 educators to help prepare the next generation of decision-makers to think critically about how population trends affect global issues. In addition, we made dozens of presentations to college and university classes across the country about the connections between population, health, environment, and sustainable development.
Our quarterly magazine, Population Connection, was widely distributed and shared with every member of Congress. Outreach efforts to combat misleading media stories resulted in several letters to the editor getting published in news outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post. The relaunch of #Fight4HER, our joint campaign with our sister organization, Population Connection Action Fund, was a major success. We worked in six critical communities to garner petition signatures and raise the alarm that reproductive freedom is central to building a safer, healthier world.
Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deeper into a year of impactful work! Together, we’ll celebrate our collective progress and look ahead to the continued pursuit of population stabilization in the coming year!
This event is cohosted with our sister organization, Population Connection Action Fund.
