IA: AAP meeting in New Orleans in two weeks

In less than two weeks, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) will gather in New Orleans for its annual conference—and Intact America will be there, inside and on the ground, demanding that the AAP retract its new pro-circumcision Task Force Report.

THE TIME TO GIVE IS NOW. We need to reach America’s pediatricians and remind them that circumcision is medically unnecessary AND harmful to the infant—and thus violates the very ethical principles they swore to uphold.

Why now? Because if you donate before midnight on October 15, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar (up to $10,000), thanks to a very generous pledge from intactivist Dan Bollinger. This match will double the impact of your gift!

Your tax-deductible donation today will go directly towards:

• Staging a major press conference outside the Convention Center in New Orleans
• Producing and distributing materials to doctors attending the convention, to let them know how their own Association is putting them at risk by encouraging them to perform an unnecessary and harmful procedure
• Hosting a booth inside the Convention Center, so we can speak with pediatricians one-on-one
• Placing open letters and advertisements in media outlets in New Orleans and other cities

People all across America are finally realizing that circumcision is wrong; in Europe, many governments are beginning to outright denounce it. So why is America’s leading pediatrics organization promoting it? Greed and denial. And Intact America needs you to help us expose that greed and denial.

We need your help so we can give voice to the millions of babies who cannot defend themselves, and the tens of millions of men who are realizing what was done to them as helpless infants.

Preparing for this conference is our biggest challenge yet. Intactivists will be arriving in New Orleans from across America to help fight for baby boys’ rights to genital autonomy, and we need to equip them with the information, signs, and tools they need to be heard when they tell the AAP, “Shame On You!”

That’s why I am asking you to please give—and give generously—at a time when your donation will be matched dollar for dollar!

We cannot do this without you.
