Proclamation project

We would like to have a proclamation in as many states, towns, and cities as we can leading up to National Infertility Awareness Week, April 21 - 27, 2024, to create a movement

of educational awareness.

A proclamation is a public or official announcement issued by a Governor, Mayor, and/or City Council member to commemorate a specific time period (day, week, or month) for the purpose of raising awareness about local efforts. (Example: National Infertility Awareness Week designated in April).

What is a proclamation?

Proclamations can only be submitted and requested by individuals living in the requested state and/or city to

their governor, mayor, or city council. Organizations are not allowed to submit one on behalf of a cause and out of state residents requesting will also be denied.

Who can submit a request for a proclamation? 

Why are proclamations important?

Proclamations help increase public awareness about a specific issue. Having an elected official, like a mayor or town supervisor, who is in a leadership position show support for the proclamation helps validate one of the goals of National Infertility Awareness Week—changing the conversation around infertility and family building.
