U.S. senators returning from their holiday break today received a package of
Endangered Species Condoms
to mark World Population Day, July 11, and to urge them to protect
reproductive rights and family planning programs. The delivery is part
of the Center for Biological Diversity’s project to raise awareness
about human population growth and its effects on wildlife. In all, 600
condoms were sent to the Senate. Every senator received a package of the
brightly colored condom boxes featuring images of species threatened by
human population growth and slogans like “Wrap with care, save the
polar bear” and “Fumbling in the dark? Think of the monarch.” The
senators also received a letter with the condoms either thanking them
for their support of reproductive healthcare and access to
contraception or criticizing them for prioritizing tax cuts for the
rich over women’s rights and the environment.
