From one of the partner organizations, Spiritual Youth for Reproductive Freedom:

SYRF is working with several partner organizations (including Advocates for Youth, Catholics for Choice, Choice USA, Law Students for Reproductive Justice, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Planned Parenthood, SIECUS, and the Sierra Club) to make October 2009 an entire month of collective advocacy and organizing for comprehensive sexuality education.

Many faith groups support comprehensive sexuality education and some denominations even have their own faith-based curricula. Unfortunately, proponents of abstinence-only programs have succeeded in getting over $1.5 billion in funding for dangerous ineffective programming. You can help. By raising awareness in your community about the harm these programs have on the health of students, we can work towards a time when classrooms will teach medically-accurate, positive, and honest messages about sexuality.

Awesome. Learn more about the month of action at the partner websites.
