Take Control Initiative
Since 2010, TCI has worked to ensure individuals have the resources and information to decide if and when they want to become pregnant in an effort to honor and support their autonomy and safety. In coalition with a strong network of partners, TCI builds sustainable bridges between community and health centers. To create this reality, TCI promotes the following conditions for Tulsa: – Everyone has access to all birth control options and are supported in self-advocating for their patient rights – Health centers and community-based organizations are supported in implementing practices that affirm dignity, trust, and respect – Systemic barriers, including financial, transportation, language, and logistical barriers to health center access are removed
